Only Certified Local Governments are eligible to apply for Historic Preservation grants. The Certified Local Government Program was established to enhance local government preservation efforts by increasing public interest and involvement in preservation activities.

To become certified, a government must, at the very least, have a local historic district commission with design review control over established or planned locally designated historic districts. While certification does not guarantee funding, it may increase the likelihood of receiving a Historic Preservation Grant.

For information about any of the programs described on this site, write the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, Michigan Historical Center, P.O. Box 30740, 702 W. Kalamazoo St., Lansing, MI 48909-8240, or contact the appropriate staff person.
