U.S. Department of Interior Approves Historic Preservation Tax Credit Part 2 for Fifteenand9Main

U.S. Department of Interior approves Part 2 for Fifteenand9Main’s Historic Preservation Tax Credit, marking a key step in revitalizing Virgin Islands’ heritage.

On May 12, 2025, we achieved a significant milestone. The US Department of the Interior approved Fifteenand9Main’s submission of Part 2 in the three-part process for receiving the Historic Preservation tax credit. This approval not only underscores the credibility and viability of our project but also fills us with pride and accomplishment.

Part 2 outlines the condition of the building and the renovations needed. Part 1 confirmed that the structure is historic and located in a historic zone. (We received approval under Part 1 on 9-04-24)

Team Collaboration Drives Success in Historical Building Renovation

We began the work with permission from the local historical representative and Washington, DC officials before receiving approval under Part 2. This early action was necessary to secure the building, as the roof and other parts of the historical structure needed replacement. Sean Krigger, the territory liaison for the US Virgin Islands, provided essential support and understanding of the project’s urgency, which was instrumental in our early start.
