Join host Veronica Theodoro as she sits down with Riley Price, executive director of Missouri Preservation, which focuses on advocacy for historic properties. The nonprofit helps educate and offer assistance for people seeking information on how to do historic projects. Among the topics discussed on this episode:
- Missouri's historic tax credit program, which offers a 25 percent credit on qualified rehabilitation expenses—one of the best such programs in the country
- The challenges of establishing new historic districts, particularly in blighted areas
- How Missouri Preservation is exploring innovative solutions, such as adopting a new grading system to better recognize and preserve significant historic buildings
- Missouri Preservation's efforts to raise awareness about preservation and to provide valuable resources, such as funding directories, preservation-minded contractor lists, and educational workshops
Riley also welcomes listeners to email her at director@preservemo.org with related questions.
