The National Park Service awarded $1.02 million to Preservation Trust of Vermont, Inc. under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid program (CFDA 15.904) on October 1, 2025, with final completion scheduled for April 30, 2029. Through this Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program award, Preservation Trust of Vermont administers a competitive subgrant program that distributes federal funding to support the rehabilitation and revitalization of historic properties in Vermont's rural downtowns and village centers. The subgrant program serves as a pass-through mechanism enabling eligible entities—including states, tribes, certified local governments (CLGs), and nonprofit organizations—to fund preservation projects in rural communities (populations under 50,000) for properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

The funded services and products include architectural and engineering services, physical preservation work on historic structures, and related documentation and technical assistance designed to foster economic development in rural Vermont communities. Preservation Trust of Vermont, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Montpelier, manages the competitive subgrant distribution process and ensures that all projects conform to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. This award represents the organization's third consecutive Paul Bruhn program grant, reflecting sustained federal investment in historic preservation and community revitalization across Vermont's rural areas.
