The two-room, wood-framed Troy Hills Annex, built in 1900, is seen here. It has been given local designation and a Certification of Eligibility for listing on the New Jersey Register. The facility will remain the maintenance office and supply warehouse. A Preservation Plan was completed with the help of a $28,064 grant from 2016. This included an assessment of the building’s systems as well as archaeological digs. (See this link for explanation.)<\/p>\n

On January 25 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, you can join a WebEx presentation by the Morris County Office of Planning and Preservation to learn about the application process.<\/p>\n

Applicants in Morris County are required to submit a Declaration of Intent by February 28. This can be downloaded by clicking here.<\/p>\n

In 2003, voters in Morris County approved, by a large margin, allocating tax monies to the programme. As of the year 2022, almost $46,000,000 had been approved by the Morris County Board of County Commissioners to aid in the preservation, restoration, and protection of 122 historic sites in 34 municipalities around Morris County.<\/p>\n

A historic resource must be on the State Register or the National Register of Historic Places to be eligible for a matching award. Municipalities, nonprofits that meet certain criteria, and the county government can all apply.<\/p>\n

Information on how to obtain an application and where to send it can be found at this link. Email rchang@co.morris.nj.us or call (973) 829-8138 to reserve your spot for the session on January 25.

  With nearly $46 million pledged to help preserve, protect, and restore 122 historic properties since the first grant was issued in 2003, “this has been an exceptionally successful and well-received programme,” said Commissioner Stephen Shaw, the board liaison to the county Office of Planning and Preservation.<\/p>\n

  For the 2023 grant applications, the Historic Preservation Program will not require paper submissions unless the Preservation Plans and\/or drawings\/specs have not been reviewed by the County Consultant. If a site hasn’t already done so, they need to make a video that’s no longer than 10 minutes to submit with their application.<\/p>\n
