Radio Iowa: The head of the Iowa Economic Development Authority says state tax credits for the restoration of historic properties should no longer be available to Iowans who plan to live in the property. IEDA Director Debi Durham said she reviewed the tax credits that were awarded in the past couple of years, and a few — for a total of about $1 million — went to “owner-occupied” buildings. “We’re not saying that those people who have a business of buying up old homes and selling them off — we see that as a business endeavor and we’re not stopping that,” Durham said. “But I do not believe it’s in the interest of the taxpayers to be paying people who could afford to do their own remodeling.”
