MA Preservation Projects Fund Grant Cycle Announced

The Marion Historical Commission would like to share information with the Tri-town communities about the next round of state Preservation Grants.

            The Massachusetts Historical Commission has just announced Round 28 of the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund grant program (MPPF.)

            The MPPF is a state-funded 50% reimbursable matching grant program established in 1984 to support the preservation of properties, landscapes and sites listed in the State Register of Historic Places. Applicants must be a municipality or nonprofit organization.

            Properties are listed in the State Register of Historic Places if they meet one of three criteria:

-Listed in the National Register of Historic Places

-Determined Eligible for National Register listing by the MA Historical Commission

-Included in the Inventory of Historic Assets of the local community

            Determination of a property’s eligibility can be obtained by accessing the MHC MACRIS online website: mhc-macris.net or by contacting the local historical commission in your town. (Please note that grant disbursement is subject to reauthorization of the capital accounts and the availability of sufficient allocated funds.) MPPF Round 28 application submission deadline is March 18. MPPF Round 28 scheduled grant award date is June 8.

            More information and the application materials and video can be found at: www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcmppf/mppfidx.htm.
