The National Park Service is now accepting applications for the FY2024 Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program. The goal of the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program is to fund subgrant PROGRAMS that support the rehabilitation of historic properties to foster economic development in rural communities. These subgrant programs, managed by States, Tribes, Certified Local Governments, special district governments, and non-profits will select, fund, and manage preservation projects for historic properties to include architectural/engineering services and physical preservation. Applicants propose subgrant programs that support economic development goals through physical preservation projects in their jurisdiction, determining what types of buildings and community resources will be eligible for subgrants.  
Applications are due August 21, 2025.
