What We Do
Advocate
The QQA advocates at the local, state and federal level for preservation incentives that encourage adaptive reuse of historic structures. Thanks in part to the QQA, in 2009 the Arkansas Legislature passed the State Historic Rehab Tax Credit which allows for a 25% state income tax credit on qualified rehabilitations.

Community in Action: On August 27th we asked our members and supporters to contact the Little Rock Planning Commission and its Staff to voice their disapproval of a replat of a lot at 1516 S Ringo Street. The developer had torn down one of the Bush Family houses (Mosaic Templar Fraternal Organization fame) and now wants to subdivide the lot so that three 15-foot wide houses can be built. We are pleased to share that the request has been withdrawn and no more letters should be sent at this time. We thank our members, supporters, and community for standing together for this decision.
