The Certified Local Government (CLG) Program seeks to encourage and expand local involvement in historic preservation activities through a partnership between local governments and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and the National Park Service (NPS).
The Certified Local Government (CLG) Program, a cost-effective local, state, and federal partnership, has been a major source of support and guidance. This national initiative provides valuable technical assistance and small grants to local governments seeking to keep for future generations what is important and significant from their past.
Applications for the residential and commercial state preservation tax credit are accepted year-round on a rolling basis. Each commercial building is limited to $1 million in credit in any one calendar year.
Residential applicants are encouraged to apply before starting work or in the early stages of the rehabilitation project.
