findings of preservation's economic benefits:

  economic activity in Texas each year.

  period created 7,550 jobs and $201 million in earnings.
• Each dollar of Maryland's historic preservation tax credit leverages
  $6.70 of economic activity within that State.

  in Colorado reached $3.1 billion.
