The federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program is one of the premier tools for building sustainable communities. Join National Park Service and Louisiana State Historic Preservation Office program staff to visit successful tax credit projects in the O.C. Haley Boulevard commercial district. Learn about the program and rehabilitation issues, and experience firsthand the program’s pivotal role in revitalizing this historically diverse and culturally significant district. Following a brief presentation, the session will include a walking tour. Please wear comfortable shoes.

Participants travel by bus for a portion of the Field Study; however some brief walking will be required. Please dress appropriately with comfortable shoes and rain gear as appropriate. Water will be provided if you forget your water bottle.

Your badge is your ticket and has your session/time/date printed on the back. Please confirm your date/time before checking in. Some field studies run multiple times, and your ticket is session specific. 

Field studies will depart from the main doors of the Sheraton New Orleans on Canal Street. Check in at the field study table in the lobby at least 20 minutes before departure for bus assignments. It is imperative to be on time for field study departures. Buses will roll promptly at the time indicated on the schedule. 

If you miss a bus, there will be no refunds or transfers to other field studies. Unclaimed seats will be sold at departure time on a first come, first serve basis.

Please check the weather, dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes. It is recommended that you bring your own water bottle. 

Pre-Registration is required to attend this session.
