HTCC HTC Organization Sign on Letter 4-14-15 April 15, 2015 The Honorable Dean Heller The Honorable Michael F. Bennet 324 Hart Senate Office Building 458 Russell Senate Office Building United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senators Heller and Bennet: We appreciate the work the Senate Finance Committee has undertaken to review the nation’s current tax law as you consider legislation that would comprehensively reform our tax code. Our groups thank the Committee, and particularly the Community Development and Infrastructure Working Group, for the opportunity to comment on the positive economic and social benefits the federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC) provides to communities throughout the nation. In light of the challenging budget environment and the bipartisan call for meaningful tax reform, we want to emphasize the importance of the HTC to the revitalization of communities throughout the country. Weakening or eliminating the credit would endanger the economic feasibility of nearly all historic rehabilitation projects. Without the credits, the numbers just don’t work. Historic rehab has a financing gap because rehabilitation is more expensive than new construction. Also, 84 percent of all transactions are located in low-income census tracts. Without the credits, these properties often sit idle often for decades, exerting a blighting influence on the surrounding neighborhood. Research conducted for the National Park Service by the Rutgers Center for Urban Policy Research documents that since enactment of the historic tax credit in 1981, the credit has leveraged $117 billion in private investment in historic rehabilitation, created nearly 2.5 million jobs and rehabilitated more than 40,000 historic buildings. The HTC is the most significant federal investment in historic preservation. It has also proven to be an efficient use of taxpayer dollars. Over the credit’s 34 year history, the federal government has allocated just over $24 billion in tax credits, but collected $28.6 billion in federal tax revenue from rehabilitation projects – more than paying for the program. For every dollar of public expenditure, private investors contribute four dollars toward the rehabilitation of historic properties. Rehabilitation projects across the country are putting Americans back to work. In a typical rehabilitation project, 60-70 percent of the total cost is labor as compared to new construction where labor often accounts for less than 50 of the total cost. Laborers on a rehabilitation project are more likely to be hired locally, and they in turn spend into the local economy. Seventy-five percent of the economic ripple effect of a historic rehabilitation project is captured by the state and city where the property is located. It has been stated time and again that the vast majority of new jobs in the United States are created by small businesses. Rehabilitated historic buildings are ideally suited to support emerging small businesses that are often looking for a central location and main street appeal. The historic tax credit is an important redevelopment tool that is helping revitalize cities, towns and rural communities across the country. As Congress charts our nation’s economic path forward, we April 15, 2015 P a g e | 2 ask that you protect and enhance this federal incentive that uses our nation’s past to meet the needs of today’s economy.

  • The African-American Burial Grounds Network Act
    The African-American Burial Grounds Network Act Background Cemeteries and burial sites are places of tribute and memory, connecting communities with their past. Unfortunately, many African-American burial grounds from both before and after the Civil War are in a state of disrepair or inaccessibility. Due to Jim Crow-era laws that segregated burial sites by race, many African-American families faced restrictions on where they could bury their dead, and these sites often failed to receive the type of maintenance and record-keeping that predominantly white burial grounds enjoyed. There is no official national record or database for African-American burial ground locations, and the location of many sites is unknown. As a result, the family members and descendants of those interred there are unable to visit these sites to honor and remember their ancestors. Too often, abandoned burial grounds and cemeteries are discovered when construction projects inadvertently disturb human remains, slowing or halting completion of those projects and creating distress and heartache within the local community. The presence and location of historic African-American burial grounds should be chronicled, and there should be coordinated national, state, and local efforts to preserve and restore these sites for future generations. African-American burial grounds are an integral component of the heritage of the United States. Creating and maintaining a network of African-American burial grounds will help communities preserve local history while better informing development decisions and community planning. The African American Burial Grounds Network Act (H.R. 1179) The Adams-McEachin-Budd African-American Burial Grounds Network Act creates a voluntary national network of historic African-American burial grounds.

Bouquets of Thanks for Your Year-End Support! Thanks to the generosity of many members and friends, the year 2018 ended with a flourish for the Oberlin Heritage Center. In November, OHC received notification that Nordson Corporation would continue its support of youth education with a grant of $4,565 to fund school- age outreach and on-site history programming in the New Year. The Community Foundation of Lorain County's Jane and Eric Nord Fund approved a grant of $25,000 in support of programming, strategic initiatives to collect and share the histories of community members, and operating costs. And by the end of the year, the Heritage Center set a new record for its Annual Fund campaign, raising $52,362 with the support of more than 300 donors. (This boon was especially critical in coming to the aid of some unexpected end-of-year furnace break-downs at the Heritage Center!) The Annual Fund campaign received the support of 44% of the organization's membership, with 100% of the OHC Board and Staff contributing. What do OHC's Annual Fund donors make possible? Children hearing inspirational stories about individuals who challenged stereotypes. New residents discovering the history of their houses. College students creating a home-away-from-home through service and learning. Families enjoying a fun day together. Researchers finding new leads. Volunteers continually learning and connecting.

The list is issued annually to raise awareness of Virginia’s historic sites at risk from neglect, deterioration, lack of maintenance, insufficient funds, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy. The intent is not to shame or punish the current owners of these places. The listing is intended to bring attention to the threats described and to encourage citizens and organizations to continue to advocate for their protection and preservation. In no particular order of severity or significance, these Virginia places are considered as Endangered: LIBBY HILL OVERLOOK, RICHMOND On this spot in 1737, William Byrd II declared that the beautiful view reminded him of Richmond on the Thames in England and named our city Richmond.
