Nevada Historic Preservation Office will accept grant applications until 5pm Dec. 6.

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. Previous projects funded by this program include the underwater exploration and documentation of the SS Tahoe scuttled near Glenbrook and the painting of the Fourth Ward School in Virginia City.

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.
