In just a little over a decade, Minnesota's state historic tax credit program helped save more than 170 historically significant buildings statewide, including at least 10 in Duluth. It also helped account for 29,000 jobs and helped pump more than $6 billion into Minnesota's economy. In spite of so much success and so much good accomplished, last year's do-little Legislature dropped the ball and failed to renew and continue the program. Legislative inaction allowed it to expire last June. "Shockingly unacceptable," a News Tribune editorial scolded.
