Jul-17-06 NJ Historic Trust Awards Over $1.2 Million in Preservation Grants
“Preserving New Jersey’s history is an investment in our communities,” said Commissioner Levin. “By restoring and preserving these historical treasures we will help ensure that all New Jersey residents can enjoy them for generations.”
The 2005 grant round was for Historic Site Management Grants. Historic Site Management Grants support non-construction activities such as long-term planning for operations and programs, including building assessments, accessibility, landscape planning and heritage tourism.
The Historic Trust administers the Garden State Historic Trust Preservation Trust Fund, which was created to promote historic preservation and encourage joint preservation efforts by the public and private sectors. It funds both capital projects and planning projects for historic preservation.
Since 1990, the Trust has awarded a total of $96.26 million in matching grants to 455 preservation projects through the Garden State Historic Preservation Trust Fund and the Historic Preservation Bond Program. This is the fifth round of funding under the current matching grant program, which was established by a voter-approved ballot initiative to preserve open space, farmland and historic sites.
Established in 1967, the New Jersey Historic Trust is the only non profit historic preservation organization in New Jersey created by state law. The Trust officially became a DCA affiliate in November of 2002 in an effort to better realign the state’s smart growth initiatives with historic revitalization.
