The City of Astoria has received a grant from the State
Historic Preservation Office to assist property owners with needed historic
renovations. The Astoria Historic Landmarks Commission’s renovation grant
program will make these funds available to property owners of designated
historic buildings desiring to make exterior rehabilitation or renovation
improvements
Properties designated as a Historic Landmark within a
National Register Historic District or as a National Landmark are eligible.
Renovation or rehabilitation work shall be located on the primary facade of the
structure or on a facade that is highly visible to the public. Structural
improvements to preserve the integrity of the structure may also qualify.
Projects may receive 50% of the project cost up to a maximum
of $3,000 in grant funds, whichever is the lesser amount. Projects must be
completed by July 1, 2015.
