Historic Preservation Tax Credit Awards Announced
round three has three projects in NEO
Governor Ted Strickland and Ohio Department of
Development Director Lisa Patt-McDaniel on
December 10, 2009 announced 12 Ohio
Historic Preservation Tax Credit awards to
owners planning to
rehabilitate historic buildings throughout the state.
Projects located in Greater Cleveland include:
1305 Euclid Project (Cowell & Hubbard Building)
Cleveland
Total estimated project expenditures: $8 million
Estimated qualified rehabilitation expenditures: $6.4
million
Total value of credit: $1.6 million
The rehabilitation of the 1305 Euclid building and
arrival of its first tenant, Kent State University's
Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, marks the
pivotal starting point for the District of Design at
Playhouse Square. As part of the Euclid Avenue Retail
Plan and District of Design Initiative, this 'shovel
ready' project is considered a major catalyst to
attracting future design firms, retailers and
restaurateurs to downtown Cleveland. The District of
Design is a node on The Euclid Corridor, which
connects Public Square, Cleveland's financial center,
with University Circle, Cleveland's cultural hub. The
proposed rehabilitation will preserve and restore
significant exterior and interior features of the historic
Cowell and Hubbard Building while augmenting
secondary spaces to incorporate new uses while
maintaining the historic mezzanine, grand staircase
and vault. The first floor will serve as retail and/or
restaurant space and offices will occupy the
mezzanine level.
Apollo Theatre Oberlin
Total estimated project expenditures: $9 million
Estimated qualified rehabilitation expenditures: $8
million
Total value of credit: $2 million
The Apollo Theatre is an early 20th century movie
theater that has serviced for years as the only
commercial theater operation showing first and
second run pictures in the Oberlin area. The theater
will be renovated to create a mixed-use space for
movies, live performances, Cinema Studies academic
programs from Oberlin College and a 21st century
media education center. In its new role, the Apollo
Theatre will be a major community attraction, further
escalating the ability of the City of Oberlin to attract
new residents and businesses.
ASM Headquarters & Geodesic Dome
Russell Township
Total estimated project expenditures: $5.8 million
Estimated qualified rehabilitation expenditures: $5.5
million
Total value of credit: $1,388,496
Home to the headquarters of ASM International, this
structure is surrounded by the world's largest open-
work geodesic dome. The headquarters building,
which is semi-circular in shape and aligned with the
western perimeter of the dome, is 50,000 square feet.
The open air space dome is of exceptional
architectural detail, consisting of 65,000 pieces of
extruded aluminum tubes and rods. The dome rises
103 feet above the ground and stretches 274 feet
across. The renovation will ensure that ASM continues
to be a part of Ohio's future in technological
leadership in manufacturing and the sciences.
The Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program is
administered by the Ohio Department of
Development's Urban Development Division with
assistance provided by the Ohio Historic Preservation
Office of the Ohio Historical Society and the Ohio
Department of Taxation.
