Rehabilitation Tax Credit

Rehabilitation Tax Credit to promote and encourage the preservation and reuse of historic buildings, the federal government offers a 20% tax credit to income-producing businesses for qualified rehabilitation expenses. The Alaska Office of History and Archaeology (OHA) serves as the liaison between the property owner and the National Park Service (NPS), the agency that administers the credits.

Together OHA and NPS will help interested business owners through the three step tax credit process. The three steps are certification that your building is a historic structure, review your project to ensure it meets The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and certify that the completed work meets the Standards. For more information about this program, contact Doug Gasek at 269-8726.

Recently completed projects in Alaska include Brown & Hawkins in Seward.

Projects currently underway include Talbot's Warehouse #2 in Ketchikan, McKinley Tower Apartments in Anchorage, Matanuska Colony Trading Post in Palmer and Knik Arm Power Plant in Anchorage.

Matanuska Colony Trading Post - 2006
