Description
Survey Plan Grants from the History Colorado State Historical Fund provide funding for municipalities, communities, or neighborhoods in Colorado to develop comprehensive survey plans. These plans assess the current state of historic resource survey documentation, evaluate previous survey work, identify historic contexts and property types, determine current survey needs, and set priorities for future survey projects. The process requires public involvement and must be led by a qualified consultant experienced in survey and planning.
This grant is intended to help communities strategically plan for the preservation and documentation of their historic resources, ensuring recommendations are tailored to local preservation needs. The scope of work includes a limited reconnaissance survey, public meetings, and the development of a prioritized, actionable survey plan.
