Preserve Rhode Island

Do you ever marvel the mills in Rhode Island, or pass by a historic building and wonder how this state has retained so much of its history? Not only is the Historic Tax Credit Program in Rhode Island a large contributor to our ability to save our state's iconic treasures, but it is also a proven driver of housing production. From 2013 to 2023, around 20% of all new housing (including 20% of all new affordable housing) came from the program. Right now, thanks to our joint advocacy with GrowSmartRI, legislation to improve this vital program has been filed at the State House.
