Urge Your Members of Congress to Protect and Enhance the Historic Tax Credit!

For preservationists, among the most impactful tools on the table is the federal historic tax credit (HTC) — a proven engine for economic revitalization and cultural preservation. From historic schools and warehouses to long-shuttered factories and hotels, the HTC has breathed new life into America’s historic places, turning them into thriving centers of commerce, housing, and community.

Now, with the introduction of the Historic Tax Credit Growth and Opportunity Act (HTC-GO) of 2025 (H.R. 2941/S. 1459), led by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Mark Warner (D-VA) in the Senate and Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY) in the House, we have a real chance to amplify its success. HTC-GO has substantial bipartisan support and would make smart, targeted improvements to the credit, especially for smaller projects, affordable housing, and the revitalization of rural communities. These enhancements are a powerful way to support local economies, create jobs, and preserve the historic places that matter most.

Speak up. Be heard. Help us unlock the full potential of historic places across the country with a more valuable HTC.

Your outreach can help ensure that every member of Congress understands what’s at stake — and why they should co-sponsor this vital legislation. It takes just two minutes to contact your members of Congress now. Grassroots action drives real change. With your support, we can secure a stronger, more inclusive future for the federal historic tax credit — and the communities it transforms.

Reach out to your members of Congress now to urge them to protect and enhance historic tax credits in any forthcoming tax reform legislation.
