Commission plans CLG grant to fund intensive surveys for St. Paul Boulevard and Laurelton districts
Summary
Commissioners reviewed requirements for the 2026 CLG performance review and signaled intent to submit a CLG grant application (likely due this fall) to fund an intensive-level survey and determinations of eligibility for St. Paul Boulevard and Laurelton historic districts.
Commission staff told the commission that the town’s CLG (Certified Local Government) performance-review materials are being prepared and that a new CLG grant round will open soon. The commission agreed it intends to pursue funding to hire a consultant to perform intensive-level surveys for two study areas—St. Paul Boulevard and the Laurelton Historic District—to clarify boundaries and secure determinations of eligibility that would support future National Register nominations.
Staff said SHIPO (state preservation office) staff had signaled tentative support for pursuing an intensive-level survey to resolve lingering boundary and eligibility questions identified during prior work; commissioners discussed whether to rehire the prior consultant (KTA) or solicit proposals from other firms to obtain an independent second opinion. The proposed grant would fund professional survey work, boundary verification and preparation of National Register nomination-level materials.
Timelines noted at the meeting indicate a likely application window this late summer or early fall; staff said applications typically have an autumn deadline and that the commission will be alerted when the grant round opens. Commissioners encouraged rapid coordination so the application could be competitive and requested that resumes and documentation for new commission members be included in the CLG materials as part of the performance review.
No grant was approved at the meeting; the commission will develop a grant scope and seek proposals or quotes once the CLG program announces the application window.
