Webinar: Historic Preservation Pipeline Initiative & CLG Grant Funds
Wednesday, August 14th – 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Join us for a conversation with the Ohio Department of Development and the State Historic Preservation Office to discuss two funding sources to assist with National Register of Historic Places listings.
The Historic Preservation Pipeline Initiative provides small grants and technical assistance to assist in nominating buildings and districts to the National Register of Historic Places. The program creates a pipeline of properties that are eligible for redevelopment assistance through the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program and helps communities and property owners advance redevelopment of underutilized historic buildings.
The Certified Local Government (CLG) Program facilitates cooperation between state and local governments with Federal partners to promote nationwide preservation initiatives. Through the certification process, local communities make a commitment to national historic preservation standards. This commitment is key to America’s ability to preserve, protect, and increase awareness of our unique cultural heritage found across the country. Certified Local Governments range from small villages to major urban centers. Once certified, Certified Local Governments may compete annually for grants to help carry out a wide range of historic preservation activities.
About Our Presenters
Lisa has been the Program Manager for the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program at the Ohio Department of Development since 2018. She earned an MA and PhD in geography from the University of Kentucky with a focus on cultural landscapes, historic preservation, and community values for places. After beginning her lifelong love of abandoned places with exploring derelict farmsteads around her home in Southwestern Minnesota, then finding a niche in Kentucky mapping abandoned railroads, she can’t believe people keep paying her to creep around in abandoned buildings. She is thrilled to be working with communities to revitalize beloved places.
Nathan Bevil, Community Planning & Preservation Manager at the State Historic Preservation Office, holds a bachelor’s degree in history and historic preservation from Mary Washington College and a Master of Historic Preservation degree from the University of Georgia. He administers the CLG program, guided the development of the State Historic Preservation Plan, and provides technical assistance to communities on local historic preservation matters.
