Certified Local Government Program
The Historic
Preservation and Museum Division of the Connecticut Commission on Culture and
Tourism (CCT) is pleased to support programs that recognize the importance
of the state’s heritage and its role in enhancing the quality of life for all
citizens. Supplemental Certified Local Government Grants (SCLG) may be
used by municipalities that are approved by the National Park Service, U.S.
Department of the Interior as Certified Local Governments. Grants may be
used to support activities sponsored by municipalities for a wide range of
historic preservation planning activities.
With federal funds provided by the Historic Preservation
Fund of the National Park Service, CCT annually awards Historic Preservation
Enhancement Grants (HPEG), small non-matching grants of up to $2,800, to
Certified Local Governments.
Certified Local Government Program
Local Governments strengthen their local historic
preservation efforts by achieving Certified Local Government (CLG) status from
the National Park Service (NPS). The CLG program creates a local, state,
and federal partnership that promotes historic preservation at the grassroots
level. The CLG program seeks to develop and maintain local historic
preservation programs that will influence the zoning and permitting decisions
critical to preserving historic properties, and to ensure the broadest possible
participation of local governments in the national historic preservation
program while maintaining the preservation standards established by the
Secretary of the Interior. For more information on the federal CLG
program, visit www.ct.nps.gov/hps/clg. In Connecticut, CLG
certification applications are filed with Mary Dunne, Local Government Grants
Coordinator, Historic Preservation and Museum Division of the Commission on
Culture & Tourism.
