Description
Preservation Planning Grants from the New Hampshire Land & Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) provide funding to develop comprehensive preservation plans—such as Historic Structure Reports or Historic Building Assessments—for qualified historic resources. These plans serve as detailed roadmaps to guide the rehabilitation, restoration, or preservation of significant buildings, structures, or sites. The program emphasizes professional planning that explores the historical context and evolving use of each resource, while also identifying, assessing, and prioritizing preservation needs. Plans must be prepared by historic preservation professionals and should align with best practices and national standards for historic preservation.
