Several financial incentives are available to owners who preserve historic buildings and sites in South Carolina. Federal, state, and local tax incentives encourage the rehabilitation of historic buildings and donation of conservation easements. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) helps owners meet the standards required for these programs. The SHPO also administers matching grant programs that provide financial support for preservation projects. In addition, other institutions and organizations have financial incentive programs that support a variety of preservation-related activities.
The federal historic rehabilitation tax credit helped make possible the rehabilitation of the mid-nineteenth century Rose’s Hotel in York. The project, which invested over $1.4 million in the local economy and created 14 residential units and 4 office spaces, has brought new life to the downtown. |
