A recent report says the state is benefitting financially from historic preservation.

The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission released the study Wednesday, showing how preservation projects have spurred economic development and tourism.  The report shows 32 million people visit PA each year. Those tourists spend roughly $1 billion annually, which has generated more than $90m in state taxes.
