Description
The Historic Preservation Restoration Grant, administered by the Division of Arkansas Heritage’s Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP), provides financial support for the restoration and preservation of significant historic properties throughout Arkansas. The program is designed to assist non-profits, local governments, and, in some cases, private property owners in restoring buildings and cemeteries that are important to the state's cultural and architectural legacy. The grant program offers three options tailored to different types of properties and ownership, with an emphasis on sustainable preservation practices, conservation easements, and active engagement in the National Register of Historic Places process.
