Invest. Heifer International doesn’t give people a handout; we give them a way out… out of hunger, poverty and desperation. For more than 65 years, in more than 125 countries including the U.S., we’ve turned hardworking but hungry people into entrepreneurs by supplying livestock and training in Earth-friendly agriculture. Cows, ducks, chickens, goats and other livestock produce milk, eggs, wool and organic fertilizer that people can use or sell, transforming their lives by building microenterprises. Communities are able to feed, clothe, educate and care for their families. The families agree to Pass on the Gift of livestock and training, creating a sustainable circle of hope and self-reliance. And that’s the kind of return we can all appreciate. Find out more at our website www.heifer.org/invest.

Hudson Verrazano • Seventeenth century explorers and settlers discovered Indians in Westchester known as the Algonquian tribes who were not dangerous, but peace loving. • The first settlers of Westchester County were the Dutch, and the Dutch West India Company supported the settlement. Settling Indians • Parts of land became established known as freehold manors. The manors established in Westchester became Pelham, Fordham, Cortlandt, Scarsdale, Philipsburgh, and Morrisania. Freehold Manor Owners of the manor had to build mills, provide livestock for farms, provide mechanics, boat builders, and possibly doctors and teachers. • The roads in Westchester were not built very well, which is why peoples means of transportation was by water. • By the eighteenth century, there were various living advancements. Roads were improved, ferries were created, and industries developed such as shoemaking. • Westchester County became the richest and most populated county in New York in 1775. Shoemaker • Battles such as the Battle of White Plains in 1776 caused Westchester to become a battlefield from 1776 to 1783.

  • 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.
