to focus on selecting the project that you feel best meets your local priorities and where the building owner is committed and ready (if some project planning is included in the grant request, you must really make a compelling case for the project in answering
other questions and the importance of the project to your community)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level2 lfo1">Make sure the property owner is aware that projects must be consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties

an outdoor park, a ball field, or a library-- every town has places where friends and neighbors connect.
