National Park Service:
“The National Park Service is making $1.5 million available
for owners of historic properties that sustained damage when Hurricane Sandy
lashed Virginia in October 2012. The grant money is available to private
property owners, organizations or local governments. The properties must be
within the disaster areas that were declared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. Owners of historic properties can seek reimbursement funds
for repairs they have already made or are planning.
The grants range from $10,000 to $25,000. FEMA declared 29
jurisdictions in Virginia post-storm disaster areas. They include portions of
northern Virginia, the Northern Neck, Eastern Shore and areas of the Shenandoah
Valley, among others. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources will
disburse the funds. Applications are due by March 28.”
