Campbellsville 1 of 8 cities receiving historic preservation grants Certified Local Government historic preservation grants announced Click on headline for complete story with list of projects, amounts By Diane Comer News from Kentucky Heritage Council Frankfort, KY (Friday, February 14, 2014) - The Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office (KHC) is now accepting grant applications from Kentucky Certified Local Governments, for matching grants for historic preservation activities. Awards are made annually to qualifying projects submitted by participating citywide and county historic preservation commissions. Kentucky currently has 23 CLG communities. In late 2013, the Heritage Council awarded nine grants totaling $80,000 for preservation-related projects in Bardstown, Bellevue, Campbellsville, Covington, Danville, Dawson Springs, Frankfort, Middlesboro and Shelbyville. Leveraged along with the required local match of at least 40 percent, these grants will generate total investment of $133,333 in these communities. 2013 Certified Local Government historic preservation grants
"It is always interesting to see how these grants are being creatively leveraged by communities to broaden their impact," said Craig Potts, KHC executive director and state historic preservation officer. Covington and Bellevue partnered to create a nationally award-winning video, narrated by Northern Kentucky personality Nick Clooney, as a way to dispel negative perceptions about preservation and the design review process and emphasize benefits to communities, available at http://vimeo.com/35608673. A subsequent video on architectural styles was also produced with CLG grant assistance and may be viewed at http://vimeo.com/76638467. CLG designation offers a way for local governments to become involved in a comprehensive approach to historic preservation. In addition to eligibility for grants, benefits of designation include access to technical advice from KHC and the National Park Service. To qualify, local governments must meet five broad standards, including enacting a historic preservation ordinance and appointing a qualified preservation commission or architectural review board. By federal law, at least 10 percent of Kentucky's annual apportionment from the federal Historic Preservation Fund must be awarded as preservation grants to CLGs. Grant-funded projects, and qualified professionals engaged in training, must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Eligible Certified Local Governments must apply for this next round of grants by Monday, March 3. For information, contact Vicki Birenberg, state CLG program and planning coordinator, at 502-564-7005, ext. 126, or Vicki.Birenberg@ky.gov, or visit heritage.ky.gov/mainstreet/clgs This story was posted on 2014-02-15 10:57:26
