AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE WAHPC BOARD Hello Historic Preservation Commission members, staff, and historic preservation advocates. I write to bring attention to alarming information received from the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers. Events pose immediate and developing threats to historic preservation in Wisconsin. Since the 1960’s the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) has annually received an allocation from the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) that is then used for the administration of the WHS National Register program that includes the Certified Local Government (CLG) program and related grants, community outreach and education, and the Historic Tax Credit (HTC) program. These funds come from Federal offshore drilling leases and are not tax dollars. The Immediate Threat: The Federal budget for fiscal year 2025 was passed in March 2025 and contains funds from the (HPF). THESE FUNDS HAVE NOT YET BEEN RELEASED. HPF funding helps to ensure that the work of State and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices/Officers (SHPO and THPO) can continue. The Developing Threat: The Federal budget for fiscal year 2026 is being formulated by Congress. THE CURRENT VERSION CONTAINS NO FUNDING FOR THE HPF. If this situation holds, there will be a devastating impact on the historic preservation efforts of the WHS SHPO and THPOs. Historic Preservation’s Impact: According to the WHS information sheet 2024 Scorecard: Impact On Wisconsin, in 2024 alone, impacts on Wisconsin’s economic health included: a projected 3,922 jobs created in construction related to the HTC programs, $225 million invested in historic property rehabilitation, $22 million awarded in historic tax credits, 255 buildings rehabilitated using the HTC programs. Also, HTC projects are a source of affordable housing in communities across the State. Here's How You Can Help: We need your voice. Please contact your Federal Congressional Delegation and State Legislative Representatives and advocate with determination for the release of approved FY 2025 HPF funding and the restoration of HPF funding in the FY 2026 budget. Thank you for your time and help at this crucial time. (fb)
