Certified Local Government (CLG) Grants

Overview

Two grant programs are available to help municipalities support their historic preservation efforts: the federal Historic Preservation Enhancement Grant (HPEG) and the State-funded Supplemental CLG grant


The Historic Preservation Enhancement Grants (HPEG):
Through this program, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) administers federal funds to help municipal historic district commissions enhance their administrative capabilities, strengthen local preservation programs, and produce public education materials and activities.

The Supplemental Certified Local Government Grants (SCLG):
SHPO provides these state-funded grants to municipalities to support a wide range of historic preservation planning activities. SHPO accepts applications on a rolling basis as long as funds are available. 

Eligibility

Before you can apply for either grant, your municipality must be approved as a Certified Local Government (CLG) by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.  Contact the CLG Coordinator, Mary Dunne at  mary.dunne@ct.gov or 860-500-2356 for details.
