Description
This program funds subgrant programs that support the rehabilitation and preservation of historic properties in rural communities, with the aim of promoting economic development. Administered by the National Park Service through the Historic Preservation Fund, the program enables eligible entities—such as states, tribes, certified local governments, special district governments, and nonprofits—to establish and manage subgrant programs. These subgrants facilitate architectural/engineering services and physical preservation for properties that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The program encourages projects that celebrate America’s 250th birthday and that create lasting economic and cultural impacts in rural areas.
