PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - Patrick Delaney
A Year for the History BooksPatrick G. Delaney

Despite the downturn in the economy across our world, 2009 has been a very successful year for Historic Routt County - one for the history books.

Show Off Your Best Shots!
HRC is developing a program that encourages members to be involved in showcasing the historical places that make Routt County so special. Called the Where in Routt County? Photo Contest, the idea is for members to submit high-resolution photos to HRC that will be featured in the Steamboat Today. The success of the program depends on the number of contributors we can secure and the quality of the submittals. If you are interested in being involved, please contact Meg Tully at admin@historicrouttcounty.org. Complete program details will be posted to our web site soon, but please contact us now if you'd like to be part of this program!

Amendments Proposed for the Community Restoration & Revitalization Act
Currently, there are 8 proposed amendments to the Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit Act, one of the nation's most successful incentives for the rehabilitation of historic and older buildings. This important measure would make beneficial changes to the federal rehabilitation tax credit and provide a greater incentive for the reuse of older and historic buildings.
