NYS Governor Pataki announces the start of the 4th round of Barns Restoration & Preservation Grants. Application deadline 12/16/2005.

 

Through the continuing efforts of New York State Governor George Pataki, the Barns Restoration & Preservation Program continues preserving many historical agricultural "artifacts" throughout the state.   The 4th round of grants, reserves 2 million dollars for barn restorations. This new grant application cycle has just started and applicants have until December 16th, 2005 to complete an application.

 

 

Since the Governor has announced that he will not be running for re-election, it is quite possible that this may be the final round of grants to be awarded under Barns Restoration & Preservation Program and a final opportunity to receive assistance for preserving these structural landmarks.
