Price, Jr., Director <br />November 1, 1991 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Potential Grant Applicants <br />FROM: David Brook, Administrator <br />State Historic Preservation Office <br />RE: 1992 Historic Preservation Fund Grants <br />The North Carolina Historic Preservation Office is pleased to announce the extended <br />90 day application period for 1992 Historic Preservation Fund grants. Grants are <br />made available from our state's share of the national Historic Preservation Fund <br />money appropriated by Congress for preservation efforts in fifty —six states and <br />territories. This year, an estimated $52,500 is available for preservation grants <br />to local communities or nonprofit organizations in North Carolina. An additional <br />$68,000 is reserved for grants to communities that participate in the Certified <br />Local Government (CLG) program. <br />Enclosed is a 1992 Grant Application packet. It includes a copy of the Grant <br />Announcement and an application form which must be submitted by January 31, 1992, <br />for projects which may begin in June, 1992. A competitive selection process is used <br />to determine all grant recipients. Grant funds are awarded on a dollar— for — dollar <br />matching basis, and average from $5,000 — $15,000. All projects must be completed by <br />July 31, 1993. If federal preservation funding for North Carolina is subsequently <br />reduced or eliminated pursuant to federal budget reduction measures, the number of <br />grant awards will be reduced accordingly. <br />Eligible projects include architectural and archaeological surveys, preparation of <br />nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, and preservation plans. <br />Educational programs, research and publications are usually not funded. Grants for <br />restoration or rehabilitation of historic properties will be limited to projects in <br />communities which have completed their architectural survey and operate under a <br />preservation plan for protecting identified resources. <br />If you are interested in participating in the 1992 Historic Preservation Fund Grant <br />program, please complete the enclosed application form and return it to the Historic <br />Preservation Office by January 31. If you have any questions about eligible <br />projects or would like to discuss grant — related activities appropriate to your <br />community, please contact Lloyd Childers, grants administrator, at (919) 733 -4763. <br />DB:ro <br />Enclosure <br />109 EastJones Street * Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 -2807 <br />
