Applications for federal historic preservation grants administered by the Nevada Historic Preservation Office will be accepted until Dec. 6 at 5pm.

Grant funding is provided by the National Park Service as part of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and is used to support the preservation efforts of government agencies and nonprofit organizations.

Grants may be used to support building rehabilitation, historic preservation surveys and projects that promote heritage tourism throughout the state.

Priorities for the 2014 funding cycle include surveys and National Register nominations for mid-20th century architectural resources and for threatened historic and prehistoric archaeological resources.

The Preservation Office encourages first time applications from local governments and nonprofit organizations, particularly those from rural communities.
