Abstract:
Historic-preservation income-tax credit from the federal government in 1976 and one from the state in 1998 have helped to renovate historic buildings and bring new life to dying down-towns. In the past thirty years these credits have helped finance 1,324 projects that have generated an estimated $1.4 billion in economic output. However, a 2013 overhaul of the tax code by the Republican-controlled NC General Assembly will end the state credit program at the end of 2014. Tax credits for commercial, residential, and mill buildings will be eliminated unless renewed. At present there are no plans to revisit tax reform during the short session.

Abstract:
In March 1918, citizens in Edenton, North Carolina formed the Cupola House Association, which was probably the earliest landmark preservation project in the state. The Cupola House was built in 1758 by Francis Corbin to serve as a residence for John Carteret, son of the last of the land-holding Lords Proprietors of the Carolinas. Reflecting a style of wealth in the American colonies, it is considered a fine example of Jacobean architecture in the South.

Abstract:
Preservation North Carolina started its Endangered Properties Program in 1977. Then the first criteria for preservation was that the property had to be endangered. In 2007, North Carolina is experiencing explosive growth and the definition of what constitutes an endangered property has changed. Myrick discusses this new endangered definition, such as historic buildings sited on highly developable land; historic buildings located on agricultural land; and historic buildings that are candidates for salvage and reuse of their contents.
