>> Historic Conservation Easement Program
Heritage Ohio provides financial incentives to facilitate rehabilitation through a statewide Historic Conservation Easement Program. Heritage Ohio is responsible for preserving the historic integrity of these resources in perpetuity, a right donated by the owner of the historic resource.
