Metropolitan Community College received a $1,045,490 Project Grant award on September 23, 2025, under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929), administered by the National Park Service in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The award funds physical preservation and restoration work on Building 2 in the Fort Omaha Historic District in Omaha, Nebraska, specifically targeting repairs to brick, mortar, and roof systems of this nationally significant historic property.
This preservation project is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2029, and requires a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match to be provided by the awardee through cash or documented in-kind contributions. The award supports the Save America's Treasures program's mission to provide matching funds for preservation and conservation assistance to nationally significant historic properties and collections through a competitive merit-based process that evaluates applications based on national significance, threat level, threat mitigation, and project feasibility.
