Lianne Hikind 1213 Views

Governor Larry Hogan, of Maryland, awarded $600,000 to ten different historical restoration projects in the state. These grants will be awarded through the Maryland Historical Trust to Maryland nonprofit organizations and government agencies.

Governor Larry Hogan had this to say about the projects that were funded:

“The program encourages restoration and rehabilitation of historic properties across the state and is one more way we can preserve and protect Maryland’s history and culture.”

The grant program was put into place in 1978, where it has helped hundreds of properties with restoration. Individuals, business entities, and local jurisdictions, and nonprofits are all eligible to apply.
