The Alabama Historical Commission has received $6 million in funding from Gov. Kay Ivey and the state legislature for the Preservation of Alabama’s Significant Sites (PASS) grant program.
The program will assist in preserving and repairing historic sites in Alabama. Preference will be given to any structure built before 1840 for government or public purposes that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and that is owned by a local city, town, county government, or non-profit organization.
“These funds will open up new opportunities for historic places prior to 1840 with Civil Rights history to be restored and renewed for future generations,” said Alabama Historical Commission Chairman Dr. James Day. “Thanks to the legislature and their dedication, the Alabama Historical Commission is able to continue preserving and maintaining the elements of our state’s past.”
