New Jersey Historic Trust Announces More Than $13 Million in Grants
The New Jersey Historic Trust, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), approved a total of $13,839,484 in grant recommendations from the Preserve New Jersey Historic Preservation Fund to save and promote historic sites throughout the state. Sixty-seven preservation planning, municipal, county, and regional planning, heritage tourism, and capital projects are included in this year’s list of recommendations.
“New Jersey has made a significant impact in our nation’s history. This impact is visible in our state’s incredible array of historic sites spanning nearly three centuries where residents and tourists alike can learn about and appreciate New Jersey’s unique heritage,” said DCA Commissioner Jacquelyn A. Suárez. “The grant recommendations made today by the New Jersey Historic Trust will help these special sites continue to captivate and inspire visitors for years to come. Our state’s historic places are worth protecting and we’re proud to be a part of the preservation effort.”
