Let's fly together
October 04, 2011
Posted by: Andrew Jackson
As the season changes from summer to fall, it is once again time to close the pool, store the lawn furniture, and turn off the air conditioners. We are about to experience snow, winter coats, fireplaces, and warm furnaces.

This is also the time when birds begin to migrate to the South to take advantage of the warmer climates. It is a well-known fact that many birds fly in flocks, typically in a "V" formation with various birds alternating as the lead of the "V." This is an interesting dynamic; birds have figured out that it is more effective and efficient to fly in flocks to achieve their mission.

GCP supports extension of Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit
May 09, 2011
Posted by: Marty McGann
In the recently passed version of the Ohio operating budget (Substitute HB 153), the Ohio House added language extending the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit. Created four years ago, the program offered a refundable tax credit equal to 25 percent of qualifying rehabilitation expenditures on a historic building. The proposal extends the program indefinitely and caps the annual tax credit allocation at $25 million. Future action could modify the program, but changing the statutory language as proposed would be a significant positive step.
