LINCOLN – The National Park Service has awarded $350,000 to History Nebraska through the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant.
With the money, the State Historic Preservation Office has developed a sub-grant program: the Rural Nebraska Historic Preservation program, which is designed to assist owners of historic properties in Nebraska with populations under 30,000.
Nebraska was one of eleven other applicants to receive the grant this year, and the only State Historic Preservation Office to receive such funding. A total of $7.275 million was awarded throughout the United States to support the preservation of historic buildings in rural communities.
More details about the sub-grant program will be available soon, with the application opening on December 12. Additional information about History Nebraska, the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant, and the State Historic Preservation Office can be found here, or by contacting Betty Gillespie.
