[Holtz, Paul (SEC)]

Secretary William F. Galvin, Chair of the Massachusetts Historical Commission is pleased to announce that Round 18 of the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) grant program has been scheduled. It is anticipated that funding will be in the range of the previous grant round, Round 17, which was $780,000.


Administered by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), the MPPF is a state-funded 50% reimbursable matching grant program established in 1984 to support the preservation of properties, landscapes, and sites listed in the State Register of Historic Places. Applicants must be a municipality or nonprofit organization. The program is administered in accordance with 950 CMR 73.00. Please note that grant disbursement is subject to reauthorization of the capital accounts and the availability of sufficient allocated funds.

Two MPPF workshops have been scheduled for Thursday, February 2, 2012. The morning workshop will be held from 10:30am - 12:30pm at the Millbury Public Library in Millbury, MA and an afternoon workshop, from 2:30pm - 4:30pm, will be held at the MHC offices in the Massachusetts Archives Building in Dorchester, MA.

Join a member of the MHC's Grants Division as they explain the program requirements, go over program materials, and give you the opportunity to ask questions. Workshops are free of charge and no registration is required.
