Grant money to assist in restoration of historic places

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Historical Commission has announced a new grant fund to
restore National Register-listed historic properties in Tennessee. $2 million dollars in
funding will be available from the Historic Property/Land Acquisition Fund (HPLAF)
Grant Program this year. Applications are open now through August 31, 2024. The grants
are competitive and can be used for Historic Restoration or Rehabilitation Projects for
National Register-listed properties that have a public benefit.
“This new grant program fulfills our mission to help restore and revitalize historic places across
our state by offering a much-needed funding opportunity,” said Patrick McIntyre, Tennessee
State Historic Preservation Officer and Executive Director of the Tennessee Historical
Commission.
The grant program requires a 10% match of project funds from the grantee and is for properties
currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places that also have a strong public
engagement component such as museums, courthouses, and libraries. Applications are submitted
through the TDEC Grant Management System (GMS). Visit our website for additional
information and access to GMS.
