Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Awarded
The Preservation Trust of Vermont is pleased to announce the recipients of the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants to activate and reuse historic structures.
The Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant program is supported by the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The program supports the preservation and restoration of buildings and community gathering spaces of economic and social significance in rural communities with fewer than 7500 residents. The grants range from $50,000 to $100,000 and will be used toward structural repairs, roof replacement, window restoration, exterior work, restoration of significant interior finishes, and code improvements.
“The Preservation Trust of Vermont, in partnership with the National Parks Service, is excited to support these projects that will help preserve and revitalize Vermont’s rural communities,” said Ben Doyle, PTV president. “We congratulate the community champions who are leading this work and thank Senator Sanders, Senator Welch, and Congresswoman Balint for their support of this wonderful program. We would also like to acknowledge former Senator Leahy, for his work in establishing this important national program and proposing that it be named after his good friend, and former PTV President, the late Paul Bruhn.”
