Funding Programs

"It's great that lodging tax money goes into a kitty that allows buildings to be restored for other people to enjoy. It's something very worthwhile for any property owner."
    - Peter LeHaye, owner of the historic Woodman Lodge in Snoqualmie.

Preservation 4Culture administers funding programs designed to assist owners of designated historic properties with repairs and rehabilitation. Support is available for planning and design, constructions materials and labor, and permits and fees.

The grant programs are:

• Landmark Rehabilitation Program: The LRP funds the stabilization, rehabilitation, and restoration of designated landmark properties.
• NEW! Cultural Conservation Program: Stay tuned for program guidelines and application this spring.
