Campbellsville, Horse Cave receive historic preservation grants

14 Grants to Certified Local Government Communities Support Historic Preservation, Planning Goals

By Diane Comer

Frankfort, KY - Fourteen grants totaling $83,141 and averaging nearly $6,000 each are making a huge impact toward achieving historic preservation goals in nine Kentucky communities, thanks to the Certified Local Government (CLG) Program administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office (KHC).

Campbellsville received 2 grants, totalling over $19,000.00. The first will provide funds to revise local guidelines, and the second will provide funds to survey properties adjacent to the National Register historic district.

Horse Cave received 1 grant for more than $8,800.00, to develop a preservation education curriculum.

Other examples include funding for the popular NKY Restoration Weekend, which will take place from 9amET to 3pmET Saturday, March 10 at Newport Intermediate School, 95 W. 9th Street, Newport. This seventh annual event will feature educational sessions, demonstrations, workshops and related services geared to owners of historic homes and properties, including how to fix historic windows, make older homes energy efficient, and take advantage of rehabilitation tax credits. The CLG communities of Bellevue, Covington and Newport present the weekend jointly.

Grant recipients in the 2017-18 cycle also include Bardstown, for educational workshops and development of a digital historic preservation walking tour; Bellevue, to update an educational brochure for historic property owners; Campbellsville, to update local historic district guidelines and survey properties adjacent to a district listed in the National Register of Historic Places; Covington, to develop an online data portal tied to the KHC Historic Resources Inventory database; Danville, to create an online data portal and draft a National Register nomination for Old Wilderness Road, an intact historic African American neighborhood; Horse Cave, to develop a preservation education curriculum; LaGrange, to enhance local preservation incentive programs; Maysville, to survey historic resources in the East End; and Paducah, professional development for Historic and Architectural Review Commission members and preservation planning staff. (Grant amounts and detailed project descriptions follow.)

City and county-wide historic preservation commissions must earn CLG designation to qualify for the grants, made available through an annual allocation to KHC from the federal Historic Preservation Fund and jointly administered by the National Park Service (NPS). Grant awards require a local match of at least 40 percent. For the current grant cycle, adding the $60,000 in local matches with the grant awards brings total investment in these nine communities to $143,176.

CLG designation offers a way for local governments to develop a comprehensive approach to historic preservation and promote the integration of preservation interests into the planning process. To qualify, local governments must meet five broad standards, including enacting a historic preservation ordinance and appointing a qualified preservation commission or architectural review board. In addition to grant eligibility, CLG benefits include access to technical assistance from both KHC and NPS.

Kentucky currently has 23 designated CLGs. Grants in the current cycle recommended for funding were approved by the KHC board last year, and projects must be completed by August 1. Funded projects, and qualified professionals engaged in training, must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation.

For information about becoming a CLG, contact Vicki Birenberg at 502-564-7005, ext. 4571, or visit www.heritage.ky.gov.

An agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, the Kentucky Heritage Council is the state historic preservation office, responsible for the identification, protection and preservation of prehistoric resources and historic buildings, sites and cultural resources throughout the Commonwealth, in partnership with other state and federal agencies, local communities and interested citizens.


2017-18 Certified Local Government historic preservation grants:

  • Bardstown, "Protect and Preserve" Workshops, $12,845 ($6,178 grant, local match $6,667) - to host a series of three historic preservation workshops featuring local preservation contractors and educators discussing rehabilitation and restoration topics to assist historic property owners with the maintenance and repair of their buildings and landscapes. These workshops will build on presentations from previous years, which have featured cemetery repair and restoration, masonry repair, and window maintenance and repair. The workshops will also allow local property owners to meet Bardstown's Historic Preservation Coordinator, RaShae Jennings, and have questions answered regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process and design review.

  • Bardstown, Digital Historic Preservation Tour, $14,751 ($7,818 grant, local match $6,934) - to produce the first phase of a digital walking tour focusing on buildings in the Bardstown Historic District. When finalized, the tour will include images of historic and demolished buildings, show the impact of insensitive alterations and demolition, and convey the contribution that Bardstown's historic buildings make to the community's identity and sense of place. Plans for a future phase will make the tour available via smartphone app. "Bardstown: A Walk Through Time" is the working title, and funding will cover staff time to organize, write and research the tour as well as scan historic photos. This information will also be added to Bardstown's historic structure inventory database, which is used for local preservation planning purposes. A portion of the match will be provided through the volunteer hours of local historian Dixie Hibbs, who will donate 100 hours to this project.

  • Bellevue, Northern Kentucky Restoration Weekend, $5,000 ($3,000 grant, local match $2,000) - to assist with production of the 7th Annual Northern Kentucky Restoration Weekend March 9-10, a highly successful preservation event geared to the public and jointly produced by the CLGs of Covington, Bellevue and Newport. Friday will feature a full day of professional development offering continuing education credits for architects and planners.

  • Bellevue, Historic District Brochure, $1,943 ($1,166 grant, local match $777) - to update and distribute a color brochure to educate historic property owners about the Certificate of Appropriateness process in the Taylor's Daughters and Fairfield Avenue local historic districts. The brochure will be distributed via mail, at local events and through realtors, and will focus on the benefits of historic preservation with the goal of building pride and knowledge about these resources, reducing the number of COA conflicts that arise, and increasing applicants' preparedness for local design review.

  • Campbellsville, Local Historic District Design Guidelines Update, $14,320 ($8,478 grant, local match $5,842) - to revise local guidelines last updated in 2006. The goal is to make them more user friendly, incorporate a numbering system so the guidelines can be referenced in staff reports for COAs, and include several new topics such as "ghost" signs, renewable energy technologies, photographs, good and bad examples of alterations, and common mistakes. The project will also include an updated history of Campbellsville and its historic districts, with a description of its diverse architectural styles. The document would be available online and searchable by word or topic.

  • Campbellsville, Historic Building Survey, $17,997 ($10,768 grant, local match $7,229) - to survey properties adjacent to the National Register historic district, listed in 1983, and local historic district, dating to 2006, that have not been surveyed. The survey area includes more than 50 one- and two-story brick and wood-frame commercial buildings primarily from the early 20th century. This step will assist with the larger goal of expanding the National Register district boundaries.

  • Covington, Northern Kentucky Restoration Weekend, $5,040 ($3,000 grant, local match $2,040) - to assist with production of the 7th Annual Northern Kentucky Restoration Weekend March 9-10 (see previous description for Bellevue). Covington typically uses this grant award for expenses associated with printing and mailing postcards, and printing of programs and posters.

  • Covington, Online Data Portal, $10,125 ($6,075 grant, local match $4,050) - to partner with the University of Kentucky Anthropology Museum to develop an online, Covington-specific data portal that will allow data sharing and access to the KHC Historic Resources Inventory database.

  • Danville, Online Data Portal, $11,167 ($6,700 grant, local match $4,467) - to partner with the University of Kentucky Anthropology Museum to develop an online, Danville-specific data portal that will allow data sharing and access to the KHC Historic Resources Inventory database.

  • Danville, National Register nomination for Old Wilderness Road, $8,000 ($4,800 grant, local match $3,200) - to build upon the survey work completed in 2012 that included this area, and draft a National Register nomination for this intact historic African American neighborhood with approximately 20 properties. According to the grant application, the intention is to bring attention to the neighborhood's significance and inspire rehabilitation efforts.

  • Horse Cave, Preservation Education Curriculum, $14,751 ($8,817 grant, local match $5,744) - to research, design, develop and implement a preservation education curriculum for Horse Cave that will be used by teachers in the Caverna Independent School system and the Horse Cave Cultural District Arts and Sciences Summer Camp program.

  • LaGrange, Roof Improvement Program/Enhanced Facade Grant Program, $6,870 ($4,122 grant, local match $2,748) - to enhance the existing facade grant program to include new marketing materials, a historic preservation and revitalization workshop for historic property owners, and the addition of a roof abatement/roof stabilization program, all in partnership with the Discover Downtown LaGrange Main Street program.

  • Maysville, Historic Resources Survey of East End, $10,000 ($6,000 grant, local match $4,000) - to hire a qualified consultant, Orloff Miller, to document historic resources in Maysville's East End. The proposed survey area begins at the entrance to East End on Forest Avenue and extends to the north side of Forest Avenue. The survey will comprise approximately 110 properties and include the requisite archival research and photo documentation.

  • Paducah, Professional Development for the Historic and Architectural Review Commission, $10,366 ($6,200 grant, local match $4,147) - to send members of Paducah's Historic and Architectural Review Commission, along with preservation planning staff, to the 2017 PastForward National Preservation Conference in Chicago this past November.
