CLG FundingThe more than 1,100 local governments that participate in the program are eligible to apply to their State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) for grants representing a minimum of ten percent of the federal funds allocated to their State. In FY 1997, the total amount of funding CLGs received through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) subgrants was $3 million. An equal amount is expected to be distributed in FY 1998. Projects eligible for funding and the criteria used to select them are developed annually by the SHPO. Funding decisions are made by the State not NPS. Among the kinds of activities funded are the following: architectural, historical, archeological surveys; oral histories; nominations to the National Register of Historic Places; staff work for historic preservation commissions; design guidelines and preservation plans; public outreach materials such as publications, videos, exhibits, and brochures; training for commission members and staff; and rehabilitation or restoration of National Register listed properties.
