Ohio’s Downtown Redevelopment Districts and Historic Preservation Development Webinar
Wednesday, December 19th 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Developing certified historic structures can be a complicated and complex task. Ohio’s Downtown Redevelopment District program is a critical tool to redevelop these important historic structures. Downtown Redevelopment Districts work like Tax Increment Financing in that they capture new growth in property taxes in a defined 10 acre district continuous to a certified historic structure. Unlike a TIF that is generally restricted to public infrastructure improvements, a Downtown Redevelopment District can be used to redevelop the historic building, build innovation districts to grow high-tech companies, build public infrastructure or fund local economic development groups associated with the projects. Learn from the experts at Montrose Development Advisors, including David Robinson and Nate Green, as well as from Rodd Hale, Village Administrator of Versailles, Ohio, who implemented multiple Downtown Redevelopment Districts to better understand how this important historic preservation program works at the Heritage Ohio webinar series on December 19, 2018 at 1pm.
