  Block Grant Funds for Historic Preservation and Heritage Tourism in
  your Communities**

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Communities across America are searching for ways to improve their local
economies, enhance their quality of life and revitalize their
neighborhoods while preserving their cultural and natural heritage.
Historic preservation and heritage tourism are two prominent economic
and community development strategies to accomplish these objectives.
This guide details how communities can utilize Community Development
Block Grant funds (CDBG) to promote historic preservation and heritage
tourism in their localities.

In addition to providing this guidance, HUD would like our partners in
community development to be aware of a new White House initiative that
encourages communities to invest in historic preservation and heritage
tourism. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has developed the
Preserve America initiative to honor and award communities that are
involved in successful historic preservation and heritage tourism
projects. Under the Preserve America initiative, unveiled by First Lady
Laura Bush in September of 2003, communities may seek Preserve America
Community designation for their towns and cities and nominate
outstanding preservation efforts for the new Preserve America
Presidential Award.

**Background**: Heritage tourism is an economic development tool
designed to attract visitors to an area based on the unique aspects of
the locality's history, landscape and culture. This not only boosts
regional and local pride but is also a good source of revenue for a
community and creates jobs. Historic preservation is a tool for
preserving a historic place, incubating small businesses, revitalizing
downtowns, generating local jobs, and creating improvements in a
community.

**Purpose**: This guide will help state and local officials understand
how historic preservation and heritage tourism projects can be
accomplished through various eligible activities under the Community
Development Block Grant program (CDBG). The CDBG program under the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (HCDA) provides resources
and flexibility to local officials for determining development in their
communities. You will find a description of eligible activities that can
be used and important contact information. Also included are some
real-life examples of successful historic preservation and heritage
tourism projects.

##### 

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  **Meeting a National Objective**

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

All CDBG assisted historic preservation and heritage tourism activities
must meet a national objective. The activity must benefit low and
moderate-income persons; prevent or eliminate slums or blight; or be
designed to meet a community development need having an urgent need.
Some examples include: The preservation of a commercial building that
results in the creation of jobs where at least 51 percent are held by
low and moderate-income persons; the preservation of a building used for
a community center that serves residents in an area that is 51 percent
low and moderate income; an entitlement community that has used historic
preservation activities in a designated slum and blighted area or in a
non-designated slum and blighted area that shows signs of decay (on a
spot basis). The national objectives are outlined in 24 CFR 570.208 for
the Entitlement program and in 24 CFR 570.483 in the State program. Both
programs require that at least 70 percent of CDBG funds and Section 108
loan funds must be used to benefit low and moderate-income persons. Each
state may have additional requirements that Units of General Local
Government must adhere to.

  Activities which may support Historic Preservation and Heritage
  Tourism**

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# 

Historic preservation is a specific eligible activity under 24 CFR Part
570.202(d) where it states that preserving specific historic properties
may be undertaken. However, there are a number of other eligible
activities that can be used toward historic preservation and heritage
tourism projects.

Usually these activities include rehabilitation, preservation and
selective restoration of publicly or privately owned properties.
However, new construction of non-residential buildings, economic
development assistance to for-profit businesses, and energy conservation
are also among eligible activities.

The following are eligible CDBG activities that may be used for historic
preservation and heritage tourism projects and objectives, if all
applicable program requirements are met. The Entitlement regulation and
Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) statutory citations are
included for your convenience.

> **Planning** 24 CFR 570.205 and HCDA Section 105(a)(12)

Community planning is an opportunity to develop goals and objectives and
include strategies for preservation with plans to meet other purposes as
well. This applies to soft costs such as engineering, design costs,
preservation counseling, advisory services and inspections. Activities
could also include the preparation of general development plans, and
plans for particular functions, purposes or areas. Many communities have
included historic preservation as a part of their general development
plan. Likewise, heritage tourism may also be included as a goal or
objective in the plan.

**General Plans include:**

-   Comprehensive plans and community development plans including
    preservation elements;

-   Functional plans for various purposes, including housing, land use,
    economic development, open space, and energy conservation, including
    historic preservation elements;

-   Data collection, studies, analysis and the preparation of plans and
    implementing measures including budgets, codes and ordinances;

-   Archeological surveys of CDBG project areas, including a
    reconnaissance survey of a project site containing valuable
    resources, or an intensive survey for fuller examination of
    significant sites;

-   Activities to enhance the community's capacity for setting goals and
    objectives to meet needs, including environmental and preservation
    concerns;

-   Reasonable costs of general environmental studies and historic
    preservation studies and resource surveys, including environmental
    review and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
    Preservation Act, where required by 24 CFR Part 58;\

  Preservation and Heritage Tourism**

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

**Historic Preservation Plans include:**

-   Preparation of a historic preservation plan for the community,
    including plans for preserving historic downtown areas or
    neighborhoods or for appropriate reuse of their historic structures;

-   Delineating historic districts, including reuse plans and the
    preparation of ordinances and codes to assure preservation of the
    districts; and

-   Developing strategies and action programs to protect and enhance the
    cultural environment.

Note: All of these activities may further heritage tourism goals. These
activities may include measured drawings, photographs and other
documentation of significant architectural and historic data and of any
building modifications or project mitigation. These may be prepared as
part of a preservation program or in compliance with environmental
review requirements.

**Historic Preservation** 24 CFR 570.202(d)) and HCDA Section
105(a)(1)(C)

Publicly or privately owned historic property can be rehabilitated,
preserved or restored, however not for the use of the general conduct of
government. Historic properties are sites or structures that are either
listed in or eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic
Places (<http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/>). They can also be listed in a state
or local inventory of historic places, or designated as a state or local
landmark or historic district.

**Economic Development Activities** 24 CFR 570.203 and HCDA Sections
105(a)(1), (4), (14), (15), (17), (22)

Economic development is a major objective in CDBG programs. Communities
may find effective ways to tie in preservation objectives with economic
development. Rehabilitating an older structure creates job opportunities
in the preservation stages of work and revitalizes an area and
community. Heritage tourism may provide job opportunities and is a tool
for strengthening regional identity and local pride. Eligible activities
include:

-   Acquisition, construction, reconstruction or installation of
    commercial or industrial buildings, structures, and other real
    property, equipment and improvements having historic value; and

-   Assistance to private-for-profit-businesses, including financial and
    technical assistance and involving historic properties.

**Administrative Costs** 24 CFR 570.206 and HCDA Section 105(a)(13)

-   Costs of conducting preliminary surveys and analysis of market
    needs;

-   Costs of site and utility plans, narrative descriptions of proposed
    development or rehabilitation, preliminary cost estimates, urban
    design documentation, and "sketch drawings", including preservation
    objectives and making proposals compatible with historic settings.

**Engineering and Design Costs** 24 CFR 570.201, 570.202 and HCDA

Sections 105(a)(2), (5)

-   Feasibility studies to assess the condition of structures, including
    historic structures, and the economic feasibility of corrective
    techniques to overcome incompatible alterations or deterioration
    which detract from the historic character of structures; adapting
    historic buildings to appropriate reuse;

-   Designing improvements to the façade of structures, including
    historic buildings and schematic drawings;

    utilities, or facilities (other than buildings) related to the
    redevelopment or reuse of real property that was acquired by CDBG
    funds;

-   Making improvements necessary to restore a property's architectural
    or historic character.

**Property Rehabilitation** 24 CFR 570.202 and HCDA Sections 105(a)(4),
(25)

Rehabilitation constitutes a major area of opportunity for including
historic preservation in programs designed to revitalize neighborhood
and commercial areas and for encouraging private sector involvement in
community development and property rehabilitation activities. Eligible
activities include the rehabilitation of:

-   Eligible privately owned residential buildings and improvements
    limited to façade, such as commercial buildings in a downtown and
    code requirements of non-residential buildings;

| ##### Incentives for using Historic Preservation and Heritage Tourism |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

**Tax Incentives**: Approximately 45 states and many local governments
offer property tax incentive programs for the rehabilitation of historic
properties. These programs foster reinvestment, job creation, and income
generation. Currently thirty-four state programs offer real property tax
relief. The most common of these programs exempts property owners from
being taxed for a specific period of time based on the building's
increased value due to the rehabilitation work done on the historic
property. Additionally, other states administer state income tax-based
incentives for historic rehabilitation.

**Economic and Community Benefits:** Investment in historic preservation
and heritage tourism has produced numerous economic and community
benefits for localities. Communities have used historic preservation and
heritage tourism as an economic development strategy towards job
creation, creating new business, for private investment and have seen
their property values increase. Rehabilitating historic properties also
creates jobs in the construction, manufacturing, transportation,
utilities, retail and services industries. These areas often see a
corresponding increase in household income and spending, which further
strengthens the local economy.

These benefits directly impact local economies while aiding the physical
transformation of downtowns, reducing urban and rural sprawl, and
creating destinations for tourists and local residents alike.
Additionally, the rehabilitation of historic properties has also helped
increase supply of affordable housing, which is in great demand in many
communities.

| Communities with Heritage Tourism and Historic Preservation projects: |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

**1. Pharr, Texas,** a CDBG entitlement city**,** utilized CDBG money to
fund several main street projects to encourage renewal in their town.
The goal of Main Street Pharr was to revitalize Park Avenue, Pharr's
main street, through the promotion of heritage tourism to stimulate the
local economy. The planning stages took about 3 years and included
innovative initiatives such as setting up a preservation ordinance and a
local historical commission, performing a windshield survey of the
town's historical district, and completing a \$7,500 "festival
infrastructure" project along Park Avenue. These efforts were designed
to aid the transformation of Main Street Pharr into a festival
destination. The infrastructure, partly funded by a \$2,500 grant from
the Anice Read Fund, included an electrical and lighting system,
banners, meter, boxes, banner brackets, and flood light poles.
![](media/image10.jpeg){width="2.0833333333333335in"
height="0.6354166666666666in"}![](media/image11.jpeg){width="2.09375in"
height="1.0in"}

The city also completed an oral history project that documented its rich
heritage and was instrumental in securing a landmark designation from
the Texas Historical Commission for display at City Hall. CDBG funds
were also used for operating expenses to support the city's Main Street
Program and for a promotions budget to install banners for display
within the historical district.

On-going projects also include conducting the city's first preservation
master plan. This policy document and vision statement from the
community was the first of its kind among the 46 cities and towns in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. In addition, CDBG funding is being used to
conduct a restoration plan for the city's first fire station. The latter
has included asbestos testing and removal, performing a structural study
and a floor plan sketch. The restoration plan will also include an
architectural rendering and plan of action to restore the structure's
exterior, interior and original landscaping features. In addition to
these efforts, the city set up a \$50,000 matching fund for a façade
improvement program to encourage the private sector investment for the
restoration and preservation of the city's historic district. As a
result, seven local banks matched the city's commitment and set up a
\$637,000 low interest loan pool to encourage further private investment
in façade restoration. The ripple effects of these CDBG activities
include other projects led by citizen volunteers, such as an inventory
of the local historic cemetery resulting in the city's first historic
Texas cemetery designation. It is estimated that over \$25,000 worth of
volunteer hours were contributed in 2002 and 2003.

In 2002 and 2003, Pharr Main Street produced over \$3.2 million in
public and private investments, 21 business starts, and a net gain of 50
jobs. The historic district also experienced the return of key civic
assets such as City Hall and the public library. Pharr continues to
invest in its built environment, image and future by revitalizing its
core, thus attracting heritage tourists and generating revenue for the
city. Recently, Pharr joined the Los Camino Del Rio Heritage Trail
becoming a stop and destination along this heritage corridor, which
highlights the common heritage along the Texas-Mexico borderlands. As a
result of Pharr's innovative efforts in preservation and revitalization
the city was honored with the 2004 Texas Main Street City designation.
The State of Texas First Lady, Mrs. Anita Perry, kicked off this
designation at a special ceremony in Pharr on

March 30, 2004. In May 2004, the City of Pharr was designated a National
Preserve America Community through the White House's Preserve America
initiative. The city is the first Border community in the nation to
receive this honor for their work in preservation and revitalization.

historic area.

**2. Main Street Galion,** in Galion, Ohio has used State CDBG money to
leverage 10 million dollars of funding from public and private sources
to revitalize their "historic uptown" area, which had fallen into
decline due to plant closures. Projects included façade work,
rehabilitation and infrastructure improvements. Additionally, the main
square was restored and an historic walking tour was developed to
promote Galion as a tourist destination. Businesses have returned to the
district helping to generate more revenue for the city and providing
needed services to residents and tourists. Main Street Galion
redevelopment initiatives include the rehabilitated historic theater,
which originally opened in 1949 as an art-deco movie theater and boasts
to having the only original intact neon marquee in Ohio. Also, a
historic hotel on main street will be converted into a senior citizen
residence, which will further increase the population in the historic
area. Contact: Main Street Galion at (419) 468-4812 ext 204,

**3. The Kissimmee Community Redevelopment Agency**, in Kissimmee,
Florida, received two State CDBG grants for historic preservation
projects to upgrade the downtown area over a span of six years. The
first project used \$750,000 of CDBG funding towards developing a
five-block streetscape downtown. Three years later a second CDBG grant
in the amount of \$750,000 was used towards completing the streetscape
project. The project involved improvements to the parking lot, lighting,
signage and making the area more pedestrian friendly by adding sidewalks
from the historic courthouse to the downtown. Another goal was bringing
the oldest buildings, which were built between 1906 and 1926, up to code
and making them accessible to the disabled. Business owners were offered
\$30,000 toward this goal if each contributed 10 percent of the cost.
The owners had to either occupy the building or have a retail tenant on
the first floor. The final results include eleven completed storefront
renovations and façade improvements, construction of bathrooms, and
improved site accessibility. These improvements have created a surge of
interest from businesses and residents wanting to live in the downtown
area. Contact: Kissimmee Community Redevelopment Agency at (407)
