2012 AHC Grant Program Awards

The Alabama Historical Commission (AHC) recently awarded over $750,000   in historic preservation grants.  Governor Robert Bentley and the state legislature provided a one-time appropriation to establish this grant program.

The response to the grant program was significant, with 277 organizations in 60 counties requesting over $6.1 million.  The AHC funded less than 20% of the proposals.  

"These grants help people from every corner of the state preserve their history, while developing their local economy and providing jobs" said Frank White, AHC executive director.  

The AHC awarded grants in five categories: Archaeology, Historic Buildings Survey, Operations, Work on Historic Buildings, and Work on Historic Cemeteries.
