FRANKFORT, Ky. — Gov. Andy Beshear announced nine federally funded Certified Local Government (CLG) Program grants totaling $111,975 to support historic preservation projects across Kentucky, with local governments matching the federal investment to bring total funding to nearly $189,000.
The grants support a range of projects focused on public education, documentation and community revitalization, building on the governor’s New Kentucky initiative. The federal funding is matched by local investments totaling over $77,000, demonstrating strong community commitment to preservation efforts.
“Kentucky’s Certified Local Government communities are leaders in historic preservation, helping maintain what makes our New Kentucky Home so special,” Beshear said. “These investments strengthen local communities while introducing travelers to Kentucky’s rich history and stories.”
Notable projects include the City of Danville receiving more than $12,000 to update its sign and public art design guidelines, and Bardstown developing an interactive ArcGIS map highlighting local and National Register historic districts with QR codes linking to historical information.
The CLG Program is administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office in partnership with the National Park Service and local governments. Communities must meet specific criteria including enacting a historic preservation ordinance and appointing a qualified preservation commission or architectural review board.
Grant awards require a minimum 40 percent local match. All funded projects must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation, with work to be completed by Aug. 1, 2026.
Kentucky currently has 24 designated CLGs, which are eligible for technical assistance from both the Kentucky Heritage Council and National Park Service. For information about becoming a CLG, contact Nicole Roth, site identification program administrator, at 502-892-3606 or visit www.heritage.ky.gov.
