 Questions regarding historic tax credits to be used on restoring Bemidji's Carnegie Library still remain as the timeline for the project grows tighter. During Monday's work session, council members discussed the possible loss of federal historic tax credits for the project because of the GOP proposed tax reform plans in Washington that either remove or cut the program. Historic tax credits are still available through the state of Minnesota, but as time passes any delays could cost the project some of its grants. I think you still have to be thinking about how are we going to get this project done because you have grants that need to be used in 2018 and hence one of Bill's suggestions, you know, you need to be talking to those folks too. If you're going to leave the drill for tax credits and you're moving forward on the project as proposed, you may be wanting to talk to the state grant folks about either extending grants or seeing what can be done to protect what you already have in place. The Bemidji City Council will meet again on December 11th and possibly have a final decision on whether to put the project out for bids.
