Historic Preservation |

Objective:
Projects in this category should enhance the
transportation experience by improving the ability
of the public to appreciate the significance of a
transportation-related historical feature through a
contemporary transportation-related function. All
historic preservation projects must clearly
demonstrate a contemporary relationship to the
surface transportation system. Furthermore, all
proposed projects must either be listed on, or
eligible for listing on the National Register of
Historic Places. Applicants must include
documentation of National Register eligibility as
concurred in by the State Historic Preservation
Office (HPO) with their application in order to be
considered for TE funds.
|
|
Historic facilities and sites can be
"restored" by returning the property to a
condition that makes a contemporary use possible,
while preserving the significant historic features
of the property. |
