Thanks Annette Waterloo Water Works (319) 232-6280 annette.shepherd@waterloo-ia.org 1 A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING SUPPORT OF THE FEDERAL HISTORIC TAX CREDIT PROGRAM WHEREAS, the Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit, also known as the Federal Historic Tax Credit Program (FHTC), in its current form, was enacted by the US Congress and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 to attract capital to historic rehabilitation projects that help stimulate local economies, and WHEREAS, each $1 of FHTC, results in an investment of $4 of private sector money and for each $1 of FHTC, the Federal Government receives $1.20 tax revenue. WHEREAS, the FHTC, in conjunction with the Iowa's State Historic Tax Credit Program (SHTC), has been a powerful tool for driving economic development in the State of Iowa, in particular the Waterloo community; and WHEREAS, FHTC projects are catalytic, generating additional real estate investment in nearby properties that spur an area -wide revitalization cycle. The FHTC also leverages hundreds of millions of dollars of funding from the SHTC that would not otherwise be utilized if the FHTC program did not exist; and WHEREAS, the FHTC program, combined with the SHTC program, is a powerful tool that has led to the redevelopment of such vacant, blighted and/or underutilized buildings in Waterloo as the Single Speed Brewing Company (former Wonder Bakery), President Apartments, Russell Lamson Building, Repass Building, Steely Block, Fowler Building, Brown Derby Building, the Union Block (former Walker's Shoe), the Walden Photo buildings, Roosevelt School and at least 15 other buildings. Because of the FHTC, these buildings were returned to both full utilization and to the local tax rolls; and WHEREAS, there remains hundreds of thousands of square feet of vacant or underutilized space in Waterloo buildings and dozens of buildings that need to be rehabilitated and that would qualify for the Federal and State Historic Tax Credit, including buildings in Downtown, the Walnut Neighborhood, the Triangle, Church Row and others. Rehabilitation of most of these buildings and sites will not be financially feasible without the Federal Historic Tax Credit. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Waterloo in due regular and legal session convened, that the Waterloo City Council supports the Federal Historic Tax Credit program in its current form and urges Senator Grassley, Senator Ernst and Congressman Blum and the US Congress to continue the Federal Historic Tax Credit program in its current form. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Waterloo in due regular and legal session convened, that the Waterloo City Council urges Senator Bill Dotzler, Senator Jeff Danielson, Representative Walt Rodgers, Representative Ras Smith and Representative Timi Brown -Powers to support the Federal Historic Tax Credit Program. Passed and adopted this day of 2017.
