FROM THE DESK OF NICHOLAS A. REDDING

“ Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.” EDWARD R.

MURROW

It’s no secret that we live in a dynamic and rapidly changing world. Making preservation a priority is no easy task in light of the exceptional challenges faced by our state and nation.

BUT THE DIFFICULTY associated with our work is no excuse to take a step back. As a movement, we can choose to step into the spotlight to explain how our policies, plans, and strategies can help address the

challenges which confront our society, or we can quietly fade into irrelevance. The choice has never been so stark or so obvious.

Our work not only protects important, tangible connections to our past—but it also creates the

framework for the livable communities of tomorrow. The failure of urban renewal efforts of the 1960s and 70s should inspire and inform our efforts to renew and revitalize our neighborhoods and cities by investing in and restoring the

historic places that already make them great. We were right then, and we are right today.

Changes in political leadership at the local, state, and national levels offer us an opportunity to re-introduce preservation as a tool for good.

As a movement, we’ll also need to be prepared to defend the policies, programs, and funding that make our work possible. Together, with your help and support, we’ll continue working to keep preservation a priority and a viable option to help address our common challenges no matter the difficulty that may present.

PROGRAM’S SUCCESS A REMINDER OF WHY INCREASED FUNDING IS CRITICAL

Rehabilitation Tax Credits Invest in Important Projects across the StateAt the Annapolis State House on December 16, 2016, Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford announced $9 million in state rehabilitation tax credits.

PRESERVATION ADVOCACY � YOUR VOICE MATTERS

Maryland’s History Needs YouMaryland’s state legislative session began on January 11, and Preservation Maryland has hit the ground running.

WE ARE WORKING HARD to ensure that preservation and history programs receive the funding that they need and deserve in the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget.

OUR LEGISLATIVE FUNDING PRIORITIES

The Maryland Historical Trust’s Preservation Grant Programs

THESE PROGRAMS have gone completely unfunded since FY2010, despite millions of dollars of demonstrated funding needs particularly in rural Maryland. We will be asking for $1.5 million in funding to be shared and divided among the three programs: Capital, Survey and Research, and Museum Assistance.

The Maryland Heritage Structures Rehabilitation Tax Credit’s Competitive Commercial Credit

THIS PROGRAM has been proven to have one of the strongest returns on investment for the state. Unfortunately, the current funding at $9 million is woefully low to be spread across all of Maryland, especially when Virginia invests $100 million into their Historic Tax Credit. We are asking that the Heritage Rehabilitation Tax Credit be funded at $30 million, which reflects the total number of projects that applied for the credit last year.Maryland Heritage Areas Authority

WE WILL ALSO be seeking to raise the cap for this program from $3 million to $6 million.

FEDERAL HISTORIC TAX CREDIT THREATENED

Do we have your support?THE FEDERAL REHABILITATION TAX CREDIT is responsible for saving hundreds of historic buildings in Maryland and thousands more nationwide. With a new Congress poised to take up comprehensive tax reform, signals now point to a battle to save the tax credit from repeal. Fortunately, there is still time to save this program.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? Preservation Maryland needs you to contact your local elected officials and have them sign on to a letter in support of the historic tax credit that will be sent to Congress. We’ve made it as simple yet effective as we can. Please find out more at: presmd.org/sign.

PreserveCastReaching New Audiences with a PodcastPreservation Maryland is pleased to announce a new initiative and program for

the 86-year-old organization: PreserveCast, a weekly preservation podcast.

THE DYNAMIC NEW PROGRAM will focus on the intersection of preservation and technology and the way the future is now shaping our past. While a new frontier for Preservation Maryland, podcasts are one of the

fastest-growing sources of news, stories, education, and entertainment for many Americans. Unlike most of the organization’s other programs, which

are confined to the Free State’s borders, the podcast will discuss topics and issues from around the nation and the entire globe with the goal of reaching and engaging new audiences.

The first season of weekly episodes was made possible through a partnership with Maryland Milestones Heritage Area and a grant provided by the National Center for Preservation Training and Technology. Additional funding from the National

Trust for Historic Preservation will support a 10-episode mini-series on historic Antietam.LISTEN NOW: Download the podcast at preservecast.org, or from iTunes and the Google Play store.

Organizations, agencies, and businesses interested in supporting PreserveCast should contact Director of Development Doug Harbit for more information on how to reach this important and sizable audience.

While a new frontier for Preservation Maryland, podcasts are one of the fastest-growing sources of news, stories, education, and entertainment for many Americans.

The Great Maryland Preservation Road TripOur partial itinerary for Giving Tuesday, November 29 included these stops:

Baltimore City Where we have provided baseline photographic documentation of historic storefronts to inform future repairs and rehabilitations.

Baltimore City The Valve House needs a more permanent umbrella—a new roof, structural repairs, and a plan for reuse, and we’re working with CivicWorks on it all.

Frederick County Working alongside the Burkittsville Preservation Alliance, we are helping to assist with the reuse of an important historic farmstead.

Cecil County In Elkton, we are assisting with efforts to find an adaptive reuse for the vacant, yet stunning, Holly Hall.

Montgomery County We have sought to add capacity and support to the efforts of the Pleasant View Historic Site Trustees by arranging for a donated engineering report and new strategic plan for the organization.

Dorchester County: On the coast of the Eastern Shore, sea level changes threaten historic resources. We’re documenting those resources before they are lost.

ON THE LATEST GIVING TUESDAY— November 29—Preservation Maryland took to the regional routes and scenic byways of Maryland with the goal of visiting each of our dozen 2015 and 2016 Six-to-Fix project sites. The program focuses our resources—including

technical assistance, funding, project management, and a statewide megaphone—to directly impact six threatened sites each year.

Five hundred miles later … we’d reached all 12 project sites and then some! In every county and corner of the state, Preservation Maryland’s legislative advocacy and proactive projects make a difference in protecting the places that matter. You can support that work any given Tuesday at presmd.org/support.

Organized annually to highlight non-profit projects, Giving Tuesday is an occasion to support deserving causes. We hit the road to support our cause!

One of the major tenants of the Six-to-Fix program is the investment of time and energy of the nominating organization.

IN THE CASE OF THE WILLIAM SHAFER FARM complex in Frederick County, we’re working closely with the Burkittsville Preservation Association, a local non-profit and new owner of the Civil War-era property.

On a bitterly cold and windy day in November, Preservation Maryland arranged a site visit from leading professional preservation firms: Quinn Evans Architects, Keast & Hood Structural Engineers, and the Durable Slate Company. Working through the biting wind, these experts offered on-the-spot recommendations for immediate treatments

that were quickly taken on by the Association. These partnering companies also assisted with the creation of long-term estimates and plans for future work that are being considered and will be used to assist in needed fundraising efforts. Preservation Maryland is also working on a grant application to the American Battlefield Protection Program on behalf of the Burkittsville Preservation Alliance to assist with master interpretive planning for the South Mountain Battlefield—of which the Shafer Farm plays a prominent role.

Preservation Maryland was also on-site during a walk-through of the property, specifically the wooden barn, with representatives from the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center.

SIX-TO-FIX UPDATE

Saving Shafer Farm A true confluence of efforts at the Civil War-era farmstead

Located nearby in Frederick, the Training Center has taken an interest in the property as a potential service project for their trainees and master craftsmen alike.

As Preservation Maryland continues to bring in new strong partners, there is an immediate need to address a leaking and collapsing original slate roof. We need to raise emergency funding to prevent any further roof failure this winter. Every dollar counts. Donate at: presmd.org/roof.

SIX-TO-FIX UPDATE

Ellicott City Recovery Responding to the devastating July 30 flood in historic Ellicott City has tested Preservation Maryland to the utmost.

THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES in Ellicott City have re-written our preservation playbook and opened our eyes to the distinct demands of a historic community following a disaster.

Our response, which has been on-going since August, is not only providing assistance to residents and property owners in Ellicott City, but it is also helping us develop internal policies, procedures, and an emergency response handbook which will make us better prepared for the next disaster, wherever and whenever that may occur.

Since establishing our temporary field office—the Ellicott City Preservation Resource Center—in late August, we have provided support and technical assistance to over 80,000 square feet of historic buildings in the Ellicott City National Historic District. This support includes a wide variety of services, including hands-on tax credit application counseling, rehabilitation recommendations, and connecting property owners with preservation consultants and contractors.

Additionally, we’ve involved ourselves with the long-term recovery and rebuilding process which is being led by county leadership and non-profit organizations. The value of this has been to keep preservation a priority for all concerned. Across the United States, preservationists sorely remember examples of historic resources falling victim to well-intentioned natural disaster recovery efforts. Fortunately, thanks to our involvement, the assistance of many local partners, and the firm support of Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman, we have largely avoided those pitfalls in Ellicott City.

Nevertheless, there is much work still to be accomplished—and our team will remain in Ellicott City until the early Summer 2017 to be a part of the ongoing efforts. While Ellicott City’s main business district has received exceptional attention and support, other portions of the historic district, including the residential West End, still require more hands-on assistance and financial support. Plans to accomplish that task for this portion of the district are currently in process, with Preservation Maryland taking the lead on a to-be-announced Spring 2017 project. For more information, visit: sixtofix.org.
