Public Benefit: Why It Matters
Here are some ways historic preservation projects may benefit the public:
- The landmark property has high visibility in the community, is accessible to the public, or is a part of historical programs or tours.
- Investment in your landmark property will help promote economic activity in the neighborhood or have other positive impacts in your community.
- Your project will contribute to the long-term viability and use of the landmark property.
- Your project will contribute to the diversity of property types and histories represented in King County’s built environment.

Your Project
- Your project can include materials, labor, permits, and fees, as well as architectural design and engineering directly related to construction costs. Project management costs may be up to 15% of the award amount.
- Your project should focus on the stabilization or restoration of historic building fabric, repair or replacement of essential building systems, or the restoration of historically significant landscapes.
