Morris County’s Historic Preservation Trust Fund is open for 2019 grant applications. Required declarations of intent to apply are due by February 28. The application is due by March 29.

To be eligible for matching grant consideration, a historic resource must be listed, or certified as eligible for listing on the New Jersey and the National Register of Historic Places. Eligible applicants are municipalities, qualified nonprofit organizations and the county.

The Morris County Division of Planning and Preservation will conduct a workshop to explain the grant application process on January 30 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Morris County Cultural Center, 300 Mendham Road, in Morris Township.

Staff members from the division will be on hand to answer questions about project eligibility requirements, the kinds of projects that have been funded in the past, the review process and any other questions applicants may have about the Trust Fund.

Projects that are principally construction related will require a Construction application. Grant requests for acquisition and preservation planning documents should be completed on a Preservation Planning application, and grant requests for the preparation of Construction Documents should be completed on the Construction Documents application.
