Tim Walz at the end of May, the state historic tax credit was extended by eight years to June 30, 2030, retroactive to when it sunset a year ago.The state credit, included in the omnibus tax bill, is being touted as a win for St. Paul — which has a high concentration of old buildings — and for Greater Minnesota, where officials have been hard-pressed to find funding to preserve some of their most iconic structures.“It was a long-fought battle,” said Erin Hanafin Berg, policy director at Rethos, a St. Paul-based historic preservation organization that has been advocating for the credit’s extension at the Legislature since at least 2018.The state tax credit, created i...

Public comment on the rule is open until June 20 on BLM’s website.Already the rule has met opposition from groups opposed to the idea of conservation getting equal footing with other poten...
