Greensburg, Campbellsville getting Preserve America grants Crossroads Rural Heritage communities receiving funds also include Lebanon, Springfield, Hodgenville, Bardstown, Harrodsburg, and Danville, all within 65 miles of Columbia, KY Grants support heritage tourism projects Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story From Commonwealth News Center Greensburg and Campbellsville are among only eight Preserve America communities in the Kentucky Crossroads Rural Heritage Development Initiative (RHDI) region which will receive Preserve America grants to conduct cultural resource surveys, prepare nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and support heritage tourism projects. An umbrella grant totaling $80,000 was awarded to the Kentucky Heritage Council / State Historic Preservation Office to be made available to RHDI communities in an effort to raise awareness and promote historic assets in rural areas.

More information on Preserve America, including a complete list of grant recipients, criteria and application forms for various initiative programs, can be found at www.PreserveAmerica.gov. According to Donna Neary, Heritage Council executive director and state historic preservation officer, "The Commonwealth is currently fourth in the nation in the number of historic sites listed in the National Register, many of which are rural buildings and historic districts. Having detailed survey information in rural areas is essential in determining the variety of resources that still exist and in making decisions about how to best preserve and utilize these rural landscapes." Preservation Kentucky, a non-profit organization, is the lead partner for the RHDI. According to Executive Director Joanna Hinton, "Preservation Kentucky recently commissioned a study, Historic Preservation in Kentucky, to promote the economic benefits of preservation investment in the Commonwealth. Among other topics, the study shows that heritage sites are vital to the tourism industry, making heritage tourism projects like the ones funded by these grants important to the economy throughout our state." An agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, the Kentucky Heritage Council is responsible for the identification, protection and preservation of prehistoric resources and historic buildings, sites and cultural resources throughout the Commonwealth, in partnership with other state and federal agencies, local communities and interested citizens. This mission is integral to making communities more livable and has a far-ranging impact on issues as diverse as economic development, jobs creation, affordable housing, tourism, community revitalization, environmental conservation and quality of life. www.heritage.ky.govPreservation Kentucky, Inc. is a membership-based, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Kentuckys historic resources through education and advocacy. The Rural Heritage Development Initiative is a three-year rural preservation pilot project to implement preservation-based economic development strategies in eight central Kentucky counties: Boyle, Green, LaRue, Marion, Mercer, Nelson, Taylor and Washington. The RHDI is sponsored by Preservation Kentucky,the Kentucky Heritage Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation and funded through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation with financial match from private donors and the local communities. For more information about both, visit www.preservationkentucky.org.
