Grant Duration: 5 years
Details:
Two categories of grants are available for activities supporting the restoration of day-of-battle conditions at eligible properties:
- Planning grants are available to fund early stages of project development, such as research, documentation, and evaluation to determine appropriate treatment options that meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and Guidelines for the Treatment of Historic Landscapes; consultation with stakeholders; development of comprehensive treatment and management plans, schematic designs, and/or specifications. The federal share for these planning grants should range from $30,000-$100,000 and have a period of performance of 1-2 years.
- Implementation grants are available to applicants who have completed planning activities prior to application. These include evaluation of historic resources, and identification if preservation, rehabilitation, or restoration is the most appropriate and viable option according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and Guidelines for the Treatment of Historic Landscapes, prior to application. Proposed treatments may include reconstruction of specific features or elements within a landscape, provided there is adequate documentation and differentiation of new and historical elements. Total reconstructions of buildings or landscapes that no longer retain any integrity to the period of the battle are not eligible, as they serve purposes of interpretation rather than historic preservation. The applicant must provide planning documentation as part of the application that sufficiently addresses the Standards and Guidelines and evaluation of historic resources. The federal share for these grants should range from $50,000-$500,000 and have a period of performance of 2-5 years.
