Subject: [MassHistPres] Preservation Trusts

In Newton some of the members of the Historical Commission have become interested in the possibility of creating a preservation trust fund.  This fund could be used to lend funds to property owners to complete restoration work, fund City preservation projects ect.  I am looking for examples from other communities who have such programs and have some questions:

Does the municipal Historical Commission operate the fund or is it through a non-profit?

How was it created?

And how was it funded, grants, donations, ect.?

I know these exist in a few communities and am hoping to obtain some basic information about them.

Thanks,

Brian Lever
