The Historic Commission applies for Certified Local Government grant funding from the State Historic Preservation Office to support its activities and matches that financial support with in-kind staff and volunteer time. Since the last joint Council/Historic Commission work session (November 2009), the Historic Commission applied for and received $13,000 in grant funds to support its activities from April 2010-August 2011. This year, the Commission applied for and received $13,800 in grant funds to support its activities from April 2012 – August 2013. The Commission will report to Council on its accomplishments from the last joint meeting to date and preview upcoming activities.
