Historic Preservation Categories
Grant applications may be applied to the following three historic preservation categories:
- Rehabilitation
- The act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural and architectural values.
- Preservation
