AN ACT CONCERNING HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

Summary

The bill requires the historic district commission to hold a public hearing for every certificate of appropriateness request, posts the hearing online, and lets aggrieved parties appeal commission decisions to superior court. It also validates historic districts created before 1980, exempts property owned by colleges, state agencies, or municipalities, and establishes a voucher‑based tax credit for owners who substantially rehabilitate certified historic structures. The changes aim to increase transparency, provide a clear legal remedy, and encourage preservation through financial incentives.
