The City of Cottonwood and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) have developed a grant program to assist owners of properties designated as Historic Landmarks in Cottonwood with rehabilitation, preservation, or restoration of their properties. This program provides financial assistance to help owners improve the exterior portions of historic buildings, structures or sites that are located in the City of Cottonwood, thus improving the overall historic character of the community. It is the intent of this Program to ensure that proposed activities funded through the Historic Preservation Small Grant Program shall be completed in a manner that is compatible with the architectural and historical character of the property and surrounding context.
The program is a reimbursement program. Payment of the grant award will be made after the work is completed and City staff has inspected and approved the work and paid invoices have been submitted.
Historic Preservation Categories: (Grant applications may be applied to the following three historic preservation categories):
- Preservation: The act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity and materials of a historic property. Work, including preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property, generally focuses upon the ongoing maintenance and repair of historic materials and features rather than extensive replacement and new construction.
- Rehabilitation: The act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural and architectural values.
- Restoration: The act or process of accurately depicting the form, features and character of a property as it appeared at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and reconstruction of missing features from the restoration period.
