HISTORIC TAX CREDIT MODERNIZATION BILL INTRODUCEDWASHINGTON, D.C.– June 18, 2013
U.S. Sens. Ben Cardin, D-Md., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, last week introduced the bipartisan Creating American Prosperity Through Preservation (CAPP) Act, which would increase historic tax credit (HTC) eligibility for certain properties.

SUPREME COURT DENIES HISTORIC BOARDWALK HALL PETITIONWASHINGTON, D.C.– May 28, 2013
The U.S. Supreme Court today denied the petition for a writ of certiorari in Historic Boardwalk Hall LLC v. Commissioner. Counsel for Historic Boardwalk Hall LLC (HBH) and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA) had petitioned the Supreme Court to review HBH v. Commissioner, in which the 3rd Circuit Court opined that the investor was not a true partner in HBH and affirmed the Internal Revenue Service administrative adjustment to reallocate the historic tax credits awarded for the renovation of a convention center. The Supreme Court’s decision today means it will not hear the case. To discuss what this decision means for the future of historic rehabilitation activity, join historic tax credit experts at the Novogradac Historic Tax Credit Conference in Detroit, Sept. 19-20.
