A few words from our board Member Rick Marquart

My name is Rick Marquart and I currently serve on the board of Downtown Washington, Inc. Over 13 years ago, I moved my family from a nice quaint subdivision in a neighboring town to the Old Historic Downtown Washington, MO. With my wife and 5 year old daughter, Allie, this was a difficult decision simply because we had no knowledge of downtown living. The choice made was the best decision of our lives. The friendly people, walks to restaurants and shops, and beautiful parks nearby made raising a child in downtown Washington something special. Our daughter is currently 19 years old and attends The University of Mississippi. She will be the first to say the

downtown hospitality she grew up with is not much different from the true southern hospitality she is experiencing at Ole Miss. The river, riverfront trail, Amtrak, and all the downtown events are only a few things that make our downtown special. It is exciting to see the influx of new businesses over the past few years thrive in our historic downtown. The older I get I now understand what people mean when they say, "the beautiful historic buildings remind us of our past but still pave the way to our future." I am so proud and blessed to live and work in downtown Washington, Missouri in which I truly believe is the heart and soul of our community.

Economic Benefits of National Register Listings

Many property owners actively seek National Register status because of the benefits associated with such listing. In addition to conferring official recognition, which can be helpful, for example, in attracting tourists to stay in a bed & breakfast, stroll down an historic main street, or visit a local house museum, National Register listings are used by the federal government as a basis for qualifying a property for federal assistance in the form of favorable tax incentives, such as a 20 percent rehabilitation tax credit, the charitable contribution tax deduction for the donation of a preservation

easement, grants and loans. Properties listed on the National Register may also be eligible for state income tax incentives and property tax relief and may qualify for financial assistance through state-administered programs funded by the Congressionally-appropriated

Missouri law provides an investment tax credit equal to 25 percent of approved costs associated with qualified rehabilitation made after Jan. 1, 1998. The State Historic Preservation Office is responsible for certifying that

a building is a historic structure (see below) and for reviewing and approving rehabilitation work for the state credits. The federal and state credits can be used in combination for the rehabilitation of commercial or income-producing properties. Missouri's historic tax credit program not only facilitates the rehabilitation of buildings for uses that meet the federal requirements, but also allows tax credits for the rehabilitation of buildings that will be sold on the projects' completion. In addition the state law allows credits for the rehabilitation of a taxpayer’s personal residence. The state credits are administered by the , please consult the Department for information regarding the administration of the state program.
