FUNDING FOR SFY2004 HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEYS
HPD anticipates a $25,000 fund for Georgia historic resources surveys for SFY 2004. Priorities for projects are development pressure, lack of or incompleteness of an existing survey, and direct links to other preservation or planning activities. Countywide surveys are emphasized, but surveys of communities and surveys with broad regional or statewide benefits are also eligible. These surveys do not require matching funds, but sponsoring groups are encouraged to obtain local money and in-kind contributions for the projects. The deadline for submitting proposals is 1 March 2003. Contact Kenneth Gibbs at Kenneth_gibbs@dnr.state.ga.us or 404651-6432.
