A giant THANK YOU to MN Senators @amyklobuchar and @SenTinaSmith adding their signatures to the Dear Colleague letter showing their support for the Historic Preservation Fund.

It's official: The Historic Tax Credit Growth and Opportunity Act (HTC-GO) has been introduced to both the Senate and the House. This is a game changer. Time to advocate!

This is truly a complicated problem that needs multiple stakeholders and financial tools to be successful.

Housing is a loss leader: it's expensive to create and it's intensive to build. But it's necessary to house the people who bring the 24/7 vibrancy which attracts businesses and economic development. This is clearly evident in cities like Minneapolis.

[Meghan Elliott @MeghanEElliott]

Something to consider: Whether you're converting a building or building new, the cost of creating housing can rarely be covered by the rents that (most) people can afford. The private market cannot create enough housing on its own, but neither can our public agencies.

This is amazing. Thank you Senator @amyklobuchar & @SenTinaSmith for including Sandstone's workforce housing in the Fiscal Year '25 federal budget bills that passed the Senate and House Appropriations Committees. #historictaxcredits #historicbuildingreuse

The new roof at Sandstone School is complete! This should give the building, built in 1901, another 100 years of life. Thank you to all who made this possible! Frerichs Construction, @TheJamarCompany, @BraunIntertec, and @mnhs. Rock on! #historicbuildingreuse #sustainability

Property insurance for historic buildings used to be just a part of the process. Then, in the last 12 months, it has risen to be one of the biggest barriers to placing these buildings back in service." Check out this webinar on the topic from @SavingPlaces

I'm currently working with the City of Sandstone, MN (and several others) on the rehab & reuse of the historic Sandstone School. "The Rock" has had many people pass through its halls over the years. If you have any stories, please share with @akpix at @MPRnews - and me!

[Meghan Elliott @MeghanEElliott]

Sandstone is coming along! Getting this roof done is a huge priority. #historicbuildingreuse @mnhs https://t.co/IXOS8WpxMg
