The City of Detroit received a $1.5 million Project Grant from the National Park Service (NPS) under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929), awarded on September 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029. This award funds the physical preservation and restoration of Historic Fort Wayne, a nationally significant historic property located in Detroit, Michigan. Specifically, the grant will support the replacement of the roofs at this historic site, addressing critical structural preservation needs identified through the competitive grant review process.

The Save America's Treasures program, administered by the NPS in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, requires a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match from the award recipient. The City of Detroit's Finance Division, acting through the Mayor's Office, will manage the grant funds for this preservation project, which exemplifies the program's focus on protecting nationally significant historic structures and sites.
