Explanation
Background: As part of the Certified Local Government (CLG) agreement between the city of Columbus and state of Ohio, the City’s Historic Preservation Officer is charged with reviewing and recommending approval of applications submitted to the Ohio Historic Preservation Office (OHPO) for funding of preservation projects located in the City of Columbus.
The Columbus Landmarks Foundation has been selected to receive a CLG grant to prepare an historic district nomination to the National Register of Historic Places for the residential neighborhood of Hanford Village in Columbus. The grant request is in keeping with the historic preservation goals of the City and the Development Department.
Based on the historic and architectural information provided in the CLG Grant Application submitted for available remaining Federal Funds from Fiscal Year 2012, the project is recommended for approval by the City Historic Preservation Officer. The City will not receive the grant award ($10,000.00) nor have any direct responsibility for its administration. The funding will go directly from the state to the Columbus Landmarks Foundation and no funds are required from the City. This ordinance is necessary to complete the grant approval process in keeping with the CLG agreement, which identifies the City Historic Preservation Officer as the CLG Grant Program Contact.
Fiscal Impact: The City will not receive the grant dollars, nor have any direct responsibility in their administration. The funding will go directly from the state to the Columbus Landmarks Foundation. No funds are required from the City.
