<b><u>Secretary of Interior Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings</u></b>. You may have seen that the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant program requires that projects that receive funding must be consistent with the Secretary
of Interior Standards for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. These are the same standards that apply for federal historic preservation tax credits or for the Preserving Oregon grant. So what are they? Join Joy Sears, our Restoration Specialist in the State
Historic Preservation Office, to learn the ins and outs of applying the standards.<o:p></o:p></p>
