Have you registered for the in-person advanced training on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation?

Sponsored by the National Park Service’s Technical Preservation Services office, the 1-1/2-day training will be held June 10-11, 2025, in downtown Washington, DC. 

This training is primarily intended for property owners, developers, architects, consultants, and other frequent users of the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program already knowledgeable about the program requirements and the Standards for Rehabilitation. The training will be repeated virtually and later made available in an on-demand, recorded version for those unable to attend and so that it may be accessible to a broader audience. 

The training will emphasize the inherent flexibility within the Standards by taking into account such issues in their interpretation and application as reasonableness, economic and technical feasibility, cumulative effect, and code and programmatic requirements. The training will also focus on applying the Standards to common property types and historic rehabilitation projects. 

This training complements the frequent program-users training held in September 2023 focusing on the Historic Preservation Certification Applications intended to help streamline the review process and avoid incomplete submissions, delays in review, and their associated costs. That training was repeated virtually last year and will be available in an on-demand, recorded version in the coming weeks. 

Prior registration is required to attend. Attendees are responsible for making their own hotel reservation arrangements.?
