The historic uses on Fruit Row were a major catalyst to Yakima\u2019s railroad interface and long-haul trucking industries.<br>Little has changed in the last 60+ years. Many of the old warehouses and packing facilities are still owned by the families that built and operated in the early 1900s. Hops and other Produce have mostly taken the place of Fruit storage and processing, thereby retaining the agricultural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nomination Purpose and Incentives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of the nomination is to protect and retain the legacy of the district consistent with future re-development. There are several incentives that come with placement on the National Register of Historic Places to encourage owner investment in continued agricultural use of the buildings, including:<br>Federal Historic <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tax Credit 20 Percent: Federal income tax credit on a qualified amount of private investment for certified rehab of a listed building (National Register).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special Valuation Program: Allows property owners to deduct qualified expenditures for rehabilitating a listed property from the property\u2019s taxable value to achieve a 10-year special valuation on assessed property taxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While these incentives have different requirements for de-sign review and process, they help encourage private in-vestment in historic properties by extending the investment capacity of private property owners. These incentives acknowledge both the public benefit of historic properties and the capacity for public benefit through coordinated public\/private efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Fruit-Row-Aerial.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"773\" data-id=\"906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Fruit-Row-Aerial.jpg\" alt=\"Map showing the boundaries of the fruit row historic district.\" class=\"wp-image-906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Fruit-Row-Aerial.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Fruit-Row-Aerial-184x300.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Fruit Row Aerial Photo <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">National Register of Historic Places District Nomination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruit and Produce Row Historic District public meeting presentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/FruitRow_Presentation1_June22_2022.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of FruitRow_Presentation1_June22_2022.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-272153a0-022e-401f-b4df-9e104d8c3742\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/FruitRow_Presentation1_June22_2022.pdf\">FruitRow_Presentation1_June22_2022<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/FruitRow_Presentation1_June22_2022.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-272153a0-022e-401f-b4df-9e104d8c3742\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Image showing a timeline of the next steps for the process of putting fruit row on the national register of historic places.\" class=\"wp-image-909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/services\/historic-preservation-commission\/files\/2023\/05\/Next-Steps-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yakima\u2019s Historic Fruit Row is a unique collection of buildings centered around the working right-of-way on North 1st Avenue between Yakima Avenue to West \u201cD\u201d Street.
