[OMS_MANAGERS] FW: [Heritage] Grants available for Oregon historic properties and archaeology projects

[Beaumont, Constance]

Thanks, Sheri.

Speaking of resources available to Main Street communities...

Through the Oregon Transportation and Growth Management Program (TGM)<http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/Pages/index.aspx>, Main Street communities can also arrange for (free) educational workshops or public lectures/forums on, among other topics, Main Street revitalization, parking management, and the health benefits (e.g., physical activity through active transportation, such as walking) of walkable downtowns and neighborhoods.  For more details, see: http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/Pages/outreach.aspx. Presentations are typically tailored to the individual community hosting the event, but some recent presentations/lectures can be found at http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/docs/StanfieldMainStreetRevitalizationReport_Presentation_FINAL_web.pdf and http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/docs/Sallis%20Oregon%20public%20talk%20FINAL-10-08-14.pdf

Also available: TGM Code Assistance services<http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/Pages/codeassistance.aspx> through which communities can get help with the revision of their zoning and development codes to support the kinds of walkable environments typically found in downtowns and Main Streets.

There is no application deadline for these services.

Subject: [Heritage] Grants available for Oregon historic properties and archaeology projects

The State Historic Preservation Office is offering grants for work on historic properties and for archaeology projects. The annual grants fund up to $20,000 in matching funds for preservation projects.

The Preserving Oregon Grant can fund preservation of historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Work may include non-maintenance preservation like window repair, roof work, foundation projects, and plumbing and electrical needs. It can also fund significant work contributing toward identifying, preserving and/or interpreting archaeological sites.

The Diamonds in the Rough grants help restore or reconstruct the facades of buildings that have been heavily altered over the years. The grant’s purpose is to return the buildings to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic register designation (local or national).

Preservation office staff is happy to talk with applicants about potential grant projects and review applications. There will be grant workshops on project planning and grant writing. A two-hour workshop will be in Salem on Feb. 3. A one-hour webinar will be available on Feb. 5. To learn more about the grants and workshops visit www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org>  or contact Kuri Gill at Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov<mailto:Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov>  or 503-986-0685.
