Adding a district or building to the Historic Register can yield significant economic and social benefits to Maine communities, cultural organizations, affordable housing stock, and creative districts.

Join Anne Ball of the Maine Downtown Center, Sarah Hansen of Greater Portland Landmarks, and Tara Kelly of Maine Preservation to learn how historic designation happens, how it supports revitalization efforts, and the latest news about legislation currently being discussed in Augusta that would significantly expand and strengthen the state historic tax credit.
