Free Preservation Tax Credit Seminar

I've complained before that more people in Greensboro don't take advantage of historic preservation tax credits. Maybe they don't know how to do it.

Preservation Greensboro is running a free seminar and workshop: "Historic Preservation Tax Credits Made Easy," on Friday, May 20, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Blandwood Carriage House, 447 W. Washington St., in Greensboro.

They're asking people to make reservations by Wednesday, May 18, by calling 272-5003, or e-mailing PGI director Benjamin Briggs at bbriggs@blandwood.org.

If you know the process (and follow it), you can get up to a third of your renovation investment back from the government. It's an incredibly good deal.
