COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS
Downtown Onancock is defined by its architectural assets and Onancock Main Street is committed to their preservation. Here are some useful tools for downtown commercial property owners.
Historic Tax Credits
Facade Design Assistance
OMS partners with an architectural and planning firm, to create free detailed schematic color renderings for exterior façade improvements on downtown commercial buildings. Projects consider historic architecture and how it relates to the community as well as owner/tenant, property, and budget requirements.
Preservation Easements
Preservation easements allow owners of historic downtown commercial properties to maintain possession of their property while ensuring preservation after the property passes from their stewardship. Preservation easements also enable owners to realize federal, state, and local tax savings.
