CLG Grants

A Certified Local Government (CLG) is a community which has a made a commitment towards preservation at the local level and has passed a preservation ordinance and established a preservation commission. CLGs can apply annually for these grants which fund a variety of preservation activities and the continuing education of staff and board members.
