(La Porte County, IN) - Owners of historic structures in La Porte County, or elsewhere, will want to attend a workshop on navigating financial incentives related to historic preservation.

 

Preserve Historic La Porte, a local group dedicated to such efforts, is sponsoring a talk by two experts in the field of historic building preservation and restoration.

 

Kurt West Garner is a preservation consultant, and Todd Zeiger is director of this area’s Indiana Landmarks office. They will explain grants and tax incentives that are available to homeowners and commercial property owners for restoring their historic buildings. They'll reveal how savvy property owners can potentially recoup as much as 20% of their rehab investment. The talk will be followed by a Q & A session where participants can ask questions about how their projects might qualify.

 

The event will take place Saturday, February 24th from 10:00 a.m. until noon at the Health Foundation La Porte's Conference and Learning Center located at 140 East Shore Parkway.

 

Tickets are $15, $10 for Indiana Landmarks members. Admission is free for members of Preserve Historic La Porte. Tickets can be reserved through Eventbrite. Follow this LINK. Advance purchase tickets will be held for pick-up at the Healthcare Foundation, day of the event. For questions or more information, contact: Claudia at 219-575-8425.
