New workshop on weatherization & historic tax credits in Federal Hill

Join Baltimore Heritage and Retrofit Baltimore for our latest joint workshop on how to improve your home’s energy efficiency while saving money with city and state historic tax credits. If you are a home-owners in a historic district like Federal Hill, Riverside, Fell’s Point, or Canton, many weatherization improvements, such as replacement HVAC systems, insulation, and wood window restoration may also qualify for the city and state historic tax credit programs. Find out how to check if you are in a historic district with our resource page on historic tax credits.

Join us at the Federal Hill Main Street offices on Wednesday, September 5 for a quick one-hour workshop that offers an introduction to weatherization, energy audits, incentives for energy efficiency, and historic tax credits. RSVP today!
