The City of Englewood Colorado Historic Preservation Commission held a meeting on May 20, 2026, focusing primarily on historic preservation program development and funding opportunities. A representative from the State Historic Preservation Office provided an in-depth presentation on the Certified Local Government (CLG) program, including grant opportunities up to $25,000 for preservation planning, surveys, and outreach projects. The discussion covered various funding sources such as state and federal historic preservation grants, tax credit programs for rehabilitation projects, and potential partnerships with local economic development authorities to leverage financial incentives for property owners. The commission also explored strategies for community engagement to encourage landmark designations and discussed potential projects like historic surveys and preservation plans, with estimated costs and matching fund requirements. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded, but action items included planning outreach events and inviting state grant specialists to future meetings to assist with tax credit education and grant applications.
