Dear Jefferson County Board of Commissioners,
Looking ahead to the 2025-2027 biennium, I am pleased to announce the Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation is once again seeking applications for the Historic County Courthouse
Rehabilitation Grant program. Grant funds assist counties in implementing capital projects to preserve/rehabilitate historic county courthouses. Given the historic nature of the Jefferson
County Courthouse, the county is invited to apply! Attached please find a document outlining the program requirements along with guidelines for completing the application.
This year, the application process is entirely online. The online application form can be accessed at: https://preservewa.org/courthouse-application/.
Section 6 of the application covers the project budget. To facilitate completion of the budget, we have created a standalone worksheet, which be downloaded from the online form, completed,
and then uploaded with other application materials. For reference, a copy of the project budget worksheet is also attached.
The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, June 30th, 2024.
The Courthouse Steering Committee will review all applications received, prioritizing them based on the degree each submittal meets the program criteria. Distribution of grant awards
will be contingent on program funds being allocated in the 2025-2027 Capital Budget.
The Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program is a program of the WA Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation. Additional program information can be found on
DAHP’s website at:
https://dahp.wa.gov/historic-preservation/research-topics/courthouse-preservation
We will be conducting an application workshop on Monday, May 20th at 12 noon hosted by the Washington State Association of Counties. A link to the workshop will be sent out separately.
The workshop will be recorded and made available should you be unable to attend the event live.
In the meantime, we do have a recording of last year’s workshop available to view online. While there may be some slight programmatic differences, the program is substantially the same.
As such, the recorded workshop from the last application cycle is still relevant as a resource. You can access the recording, along with additional information, at: https://preservewa.org/programs/g
rants/historic-courthouse-program/
Please do not hesitate to contact me or Moira Nadal at grants@preservewa.org <mailto:grants@preservewa.org> with any questions you may have regarding the grant program, potential projects,
and/or completion of the application. Schedule allowing and travel permitting, we would be happy to make a site visit to the courthouse and meet with the Commission, county staff, and
others interested in learning more about the program.
Best,
Chris
