Is reconstruction (i.e. building a replica) of historic transportation buildings an eligible TE activity?
There is no provision for replication of a historic structure in the list of TE activities fundable with enhancement dollars. Rehabilitation and restoration of historic structures is a listed activity. Building a replica of a historic structure is not the equivalent of restoration of existing structures. There is no terminology called reconstruction in the list of TE activities.
