Our Certified Local Governments program
began in 1985 with the City of Mansfield. Today it includes urban centers like Cleveland, and
smaller communities like Canal Winchester. Some have historic downtowns and some do not. Some have
professional staff who oversee their preservation programs and some do not. All share an interest
in working to preserve the places which are evidence of their history and capitalizing on them as
community assets, often as a means of economic development. To this end, they are pursuing a wide
range of preservation-related projects and activities.
If your community is a Certified Local Government, it's eligible to apply for
Certified Local Governments Grants that
help fund many kinds of historic preservation projects. If your community is not a Certified Local
Government, click here to learn more about
becoming one.
