Tickets sales are open for this year’s Jubilee, which will take place on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022 from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at the historic Wilder Room on East Avenue. This beautiful space, named after former Rochester Mayor, A. Carter Wilder, was a twentieth century hot spot for the affluent members of the city’s society. Once the residence of Mayor Wilder, East End’s Rochester Club was established in 1860. The exclusive club was membership-based and known for its glamorous private events. In 1911 the Club was renovated to include a grand ballroom lit by 4 crystal chandeliers, still there to admire at this year’s Jubilee. This year’s event will have live entertainment, a full bar, delicious hors d’oeuvres, a plated dinner, and exciting silent auction experiences. |

Historic Tax Credit Impact |
||
|
|
|
 |

The “Annual Report on the Economic Impact of the Federal Historic Tax Credits for Fiscal Year 2021” was recently released by the National Park Service and Rutgers University’s Center for Urban Policy Research. This report shows the continued economic impact and benefit of the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program, commonly referred to as the Historic Tax Credit (HTC). Nationwide in the 2021 fiscal year, the HTC contributed over $15 billion in economic output, added almost $7.7 billion in GDP, and created nearly 135,000 jobs. The data in the report demonstrates the economic value of preserving historic resources through the use of Historic Tax Credits. One common misconception about the HTC program is that it only supports large projects and projects in large cities. However, in 2021, almost half (47%) of projects were under $1 million, and 185 were under $250,000. The report also sheds light on the economic impact that the HTC has had on underserved and smaller communities. According to the report, 19% of HTC projects were in communities with less than 25,000 people, 44% of projects were in low- and moderate-income census tracts, and 78% of all projects were in economically distressed areas. The table below shows the economic impact for the state of New York as well as nationwide.
