$4 Million Awarded to Projects Statewide
More than two dozen preservation projects across the state received a total of $4 million in the most recent round of the popular Community Heritage Preservation Grant program. Funded by the Mississippi legislature and overseen by MDAH, the program helps preserve and restore historic courthouses and schools and, in Certified Local Government (CLG) communities, other historic properties.
“The Mississippi legislature has shown a commitment to historic preservation through this program, which has awarded more than $27 million to one hundred seventy projects,” said MDAH Historic Preservation director Jim Woodrick. “Although there are always more requests than available funds, we have been able to give much-needed assistance to communities across the state.”
