Minnesota Historical and Cultural (Legacy) grants may be used to match a CLG grant. In the past, several cities have made good use of JIp„y &Epirti; in matching their CLG grants, so please consider this as a source of match. As in previous years, projects that will receive special priority are those that: reflect the goals and strategies in the new 2022-2032 statewide preservation plan; result in local designations or National Register nominations; and involve properties associated with the history of heretofore under - documented groups of communities (ethnic or racial minorities for example, but also other groups defining themselves as communities). The CLG Grants Manual provides additional instructions regarding the full range of eligible activities and the selection criteria used in making awards. Please begin considering project ideas immediately; SHPO staff are happy to provide technical assistance and advice.
