1.  Restrict the rights of private property owners in the use, development, sale, or demolition of private historic property.

2.  Lead automatically to historic zoning.

3.  Force federal, state, local or private projects to be stopped.

4.  Provide for review of state, local, or privately funded projects which may affect historic
properties.

5.  Guarantee that grant funds will be available for any significant historic properties.

6.  Provide tax benefits to owners of residential historic properties, unless those properties are rental and treated as income-producing by IRS.
