Adopt a resolution of support for the 2008 Preserve America Historic
Preservation Fund Grant Application.
DISCUSSION
The Preserve America Program is a federal government initiative developed
in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the
U. S. Departments of the Interior, Commerce, Agriculture, and Housing and
Urban Development. The City of Santa Ana was designated a Preserve
America Community in 2005. Preserve America grants offer planning
funding to support communities that have demonstrated a commitment to
preserve, recognize, designate, and protect, local cultural resources.
The designation affords the City of Santa Ana the opportunity to apply
for Preserve America Federal Grants.
The application for the 2008 Preserve America fund will provide the City
of Santa Ana an opportunity to inventory and promote the City`s historic
resources by conducting a feasibility study to determine the most
effective use of vacant/under-utilized buildings and land, especially
those in the Downtown National Register District, and to study the
potential of tourism and related businesses by conducting a historic
survey. This intensive survey will identify additional historic
resources within the community. The Preserve America grant is a
competitive grant process and must be submitted by June 30, 2008.
