Brian Wishneff & Associates of Roanoke, Virginia is proud to announce its recent tax equity investment in the Springfield, Missouri-based History Museum on the Square, a state-of-the-art regional history museum located along historic Route 66. Allen Casey, Springfield architect and Project Coordinator, said “their working with the Wishneff team through a rather complex financing process went exceptionally smoothly and brought substantial added-value to this project.” Prominently located on downtown Springfield’s Park Central Square, the building dates back to 1914 and was originally built as the Nathan Clothing Company building.  The vision of local community members and philanthropists Rick and Mary McQueary, the project will eloquently showcase Springfield and the greater region’s unique history for generations to come, and serve as an important stop for tourists and cross-country travelers alike.  “We are excited to be able to continue our work with non-profit organizations, such as this one, wishing to renovate downtown historic property in cities large and small across the country” explained Erik Wishneff of Brian Wishneff & Associates in a statement.  “This project was made possible through the use of Federal and Missouri state historic tax credits, both of which have proven to be an effective financing tool for the rehabilitation of historic property such as this one.” continued Erik.
