Advocacy Action Alert
ACT TODAY: Please Urge Your State Senator to SUPPORT the
Historic Preservation Tax Credit “Repair” Bill

Late last year, the state Assembly unanimously passed the Historic Preservation Tax Credit “Repair” Bill (AB 375), which is the Wisconsin Trust for Historic Preservation’s top legislative priority. The bill would modernize the state’s HTC program by making the program more accessible and flexible. It would align state policy to help ensure Wisconsin’s historic buildings remain vital community assets while driving economic revitalization.

The WTHP Government Relations Team is now focused on the Senate and pushing the bill over the finish line before the Legislature adjourns for the session. But we need your HELP! Please email your state senator TODAY and urge them to SUPPORT the Historic Preservation Tax Credit “Repair” Bill.
