Tennessee Historical Commission Awards Grants to Preserve Historic Sites<\/h2>\n

\"TheNashville, TN<\/strong> – The Tennessee Historical Commission has awarded 31 grants from the federal Historic Preservation Fund to community and civic organizations for projects that support the preservation of historic and archaeological resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cTennessee\u2019s treasured historic places make our state unique and contribute to our quality of life,\u201d said Patrick McIntyre, state historic preservation officer and executive director of the Tennessee Historical Commission. \u201cThese grants will help protect the sites for future generations to study and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Smith-Trahern<\/a>

Smith-Trahern Mansion<\/p><\/div>\n

Awarded annually, 60 percent of the project funds are from the federal Historic Preservation Fund and 40 percent of project funds come from the grantee.<\/p>\n

The Tennessee Historical Commission reviewed 55 applications, with funding requests totaling approximately $1.2 million, nearly double the amount of funding available.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s selection includes building and archaeological surveys, design guidelines for historic districts, rehabilitation of historic buildings, posters highlighting the state\u2019s archaeology, and training for historic zoning staff or commissioners.<\/p>\n

One of the Commission\u2019s grant priorities is for projects that are in Certified Local Governments, a program that allows communities to participate closely in the federal historic preservation program. Seven Certified Local Government communities were awarded grants this year. Additional priorities include those that meet the goals and objectives of the Tennessee Historical Commission\u2019s plan for historic preservation. Properties that use the restoration grants must be listed in the National Register.<\/p>\n
