What is the Historic Property Grant Program?
Purpose.
To encourage and aid owners of our community's historically and architecturally significant buildings to preserve and maintain the historic character of their residential exteriors.
To facilitate and financially support the stabilization and restoration of historical architecture, encourage the use of appropriate materials and methods, and reward quality workmanship.
To enhance overall neighborhood integrity and pride of place, while magnifying neighborhood real estate values.
Grant Award.
Preservation Alamance will reimburse up to 50% of the cost of historically appropriate exterior improvements, to a maximum award of $5,000 per grantee. Applications must be submitted by email to grants@presalamance.org by March 1st, and grants will be announced April 15th. Grant funding will be awarded after all program requirements are met and the project is completed on a timely basis. The number and amounts of grants awarded are within the sole discretion of Preservation Alamance.
