Heritage & Landmark representative asks council to publicize county cultural grants
Summary
The Heritage & Landmark Commission asked the council to help publicize a county cultural grant program (awards around $6,500) and offered assistance to applicants; the commission also reported that the former city hall's national-register application was approved for submission.
Carol (Heritage & Landmark representative) asked the council to help spread the word about the county cultural coalition’s grant program, which she said offers upfront payouts (not reimbursement) and requires no match. She said awards are modest — around $6,500 — but useful for small projects and individuals as well as nonprofits.
Carol described prior local recipients (Friends of the Library, Canby Historical Society) and offered to help applicants with proofreading and application ideas. She also updated the council that the former city hall’s National Register nomination was approved by the state commission and has been forwarded to the National Park Service for a decision expected in mid-September.
