Building a Bullet-proof Case for the Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation
September 25, 2019 |
Historic preservation proponents are often faced with demonstrating the concrete benefits of projects to elected leaders, developers, and other decision-makers before a project gets off the ground. Though there is ample evidence for historic preservation's role in catalyzing revitalization, creating jobs, and addressing disinvestment and abandonment, decision-makers won't invest in historic preservation without real-world examples to demonstrate the enormous economic value of and payback of historic preservation.
How can we "make the case" for historic preservation through verified research and studies? What role do tax credits, heritage tourism, and redevelopment funds play into the vitality of communities? And how do preservation efforts "pay for themselves" through added economic activity or revenue? Experts in quantifying the benefits of historic preservation will present research and case examples that help provide convincing evidence for undecided decision-makers in the preservation development process.
