Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The National Park Service awarded $665,000 to Preservation Alliance of West Virginia, Inc. under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid for Competitive Grants program (CFDA 15.966) through the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program (Opportunity P24AS00548) effective October 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for April 30, 2029. This subgrant program will provide financial and technical support to rehabilitate historic properties located in rural West Virginia communities (areas with populations under 50,000) that are listed in or determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The funding will support architectural engineering services, physical preservation work, and project management services administered through Preservation Alliance of West Virginia to multiple subgrantees in eligible rural areas.

The subgrant program manages preservation project delivery across rural West Virginia by channeling federal funding to states, tribes, certified local governments, and nonprofit organizations serving as intermediaries to beneficiaries in designated rural communities. Typical preservation deliverables supported through this funding include structural repairs, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, roof restoration, masonry and foundation work, window and door restoration, and interior finish work. This represents the third major prime grant award to Preservation Alliance of West Virginia under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid program, building upon previous awards of $868,400 and $583,600 to advance historic preservation and economic revitalization efforts across rural West Virginia.
