State Of Connecticut Historic Restoration Fund
Properties on the State Register of Historic Places, which are owned and operated by a municipality or non-profit organization, are eligible for these 50 percent matching grants-in-aid. Since 1987 the State Historic Preservation Office had awarded over 85 grants in more than 25 towns and cities throughout the state. Projects have included the restoration of grave markers in Hartford's Ancient Burying Ground, restoration of WPA murals in the West Hartford town Hall, and the restoration of the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam.
These grants are the only source in Connecticut of funding for bricks-and-mortar restoration. In its 2004 session the General Assembly authorized $600,000 for grants in fiscal year 2005. Although there is no set limit for grants awards, it is expected that most will not be higher than $60,000. There is a $60,000 first-preference set-aside for archaeological investigations or projects that include substantial archaeological work.
Phase I applications are due December 10. The due date fro Phase II has not yet been set, but it will probably be in early May, 2005. General information on application requirements and guidelines can be found on the SHPO's website or can be obtained by calling 860-566-3005.
