Preservation Grant Funds Available
The Pierce County Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission is now accepting applications for its 2012-2013 Preservation Grants. The program, funded by HDOC money, assists in preservation efforts:
Grant requests for a maximum amount of $5,000 can be made for historic preservation or history-related project proposals. Matching funds must be provided by the applicants. Applications will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on July 2, 2012. Project activities must be completed by September 1, 2013. Nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and owners of property listed on local historic registers are eligible to apply.
For links to grant guidelines, other information, and application forms, visit Pierce County’s Historic Preservation page.
Hmm, what buildings can you think of that could benefit from $5,000 for historic preservation? Maybe something other than the usual suspects?

I would use the money to pay a contract fundraiser to raise more money.
If I couldn’t do that, I’d check into how much to fix the Old City Hall clock tower and bell.

I love the idea of having the bell and clock tower fixed! Does anyone know how bad of shape it’s in?
