The [Maryland Historic Revitalization Tax Credit Program](https://mht.maryland.gov/funding/tax-credits), administered by MHT, encourages private sector investment, through state income tax credits, in the rehabilitation and re-use of historic buildings. The program has invested more than $534 million in projects across the state since 1996, helping make improvements to 5,961 homeowner and 918 commercial historic structures and preserving buildings that contribute to the distinct character of Maryland’s towns, cities, and rural areas. “You cannot understand American history without appreciating the history of our state, and these buildings carry that story,” **said Gov. Moore.** “Through the Maryland Historical Trust we continue to preserve Maryland's most vital historical properties, giving them new life, building up our communities, creating jobs and preserving the foundations of our culture and identity. By honoring our past, we are inspired to build a brighter future.” “This year’s historic tax credit awards are being made to an exciting mix of building types, undergoing a range of adaptive reuses that illustrate the resilience of design and construction excellence reflected in our historic structures,” **said Maryland Department of Planning Secretary Rebecca Flora, AICP**. “The awardees should be commended for their recognition of the enduring value of these treasured buildings to the communities they are woven into, and the economic potential they offer through their revitalization.” Sixteen applicants requested $30 million in tax credits for construction projects totaling more than $158 million in estimated costs. The nine projects selected for the 2027 tax credits were chosen based on an established criteria, including those outlined by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior for historic building rehabilitations.
