On the Hill: House Passes Full Funding for the Historic Preservation Fund |
|
Last night, the House passed a major package of energy and oil spill
provisions dubbed the CLEAR Act. Why is this good news for
preservationists? The legislation contains a provision that would fully
fund the Historic Preservation Fund at its entire authorized level of
$150 million. Not since its inception in 1976 has the Historic
Preservation Fund received full funding to carry out the provisions of
the National Historic Preservation Act. In fact, since 2001,
appropriations have declined from $94 million to less than $80 million.
