The Newport Historic Preservation Commission announced it has received multiple Certified Local Government (CLG) grants to support local preservation programming.
Chair Kolb said the commission will host, in partnership with Covington, a preservation camp training run by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions aimed at local realtors to introduce preservation considerations before transactions occur. The commission will also run a community archive workshop focused on materials related to Southgate Street School; staff said they will provide archival-quality supplies and assistance digitizing photographs and artifacts if community members are comfortable with digitization.
Chair Kolb also announced the commission received funding for an "In KY Restoration" program planned for next year; the commission is currently looking at April 3 as a tentative date. Staff and commissioners briefly reflected on ideas from the recent Monmouth History Crawl and said they have additional programming ideas going forward.
The meeting record does not provide detailed budget amounts for the CLG grants or full vendor/partner contact details; those specifics were not specified in the discussion.
