Herkimer, N.Y. — The Friends of Historic Herkimer County will submit an application for a state grant to rehabilitate a historic structure now that it has approval from the county Legislature. During a special session of the Legislature on Thursday, the lawmakers voted unanimously to support a resolution that authorizes the grant application to the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The resolution also authorizes the chairman to issue a letter of support and to sign a preservation covenant in the event the grant is awarded. The Friends are hoping to make repairs to the exterior façade of the Herkimer County Historic 1834 Jail at the corners of North Main and Church streets in Herkimer. <http://www.littlefallstimes.com/news/x1533295599/Friends-group-applying-for-grant-to-repair-historic-jail> -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
