Connecticut Preservation Now:
Changes and Opportunities in Funding
Join the statewide advocacy organization, Connecticut Preservation Action (CPA) for its 2015 conference
which will focus on changes and new opportunities for grant funding from the state of Connecticut. If you’re a
community leader or preservationist interested in ways to fund your own restoration projects; a municipal planner
looking for ways to create a legacy for your community’s identity; a nonprofit owner or architect looking for grants
to rehab your historic building projects; or a preservation organization wondering about the future of the recent
state budget cuts to the Community Investment Act (CIA) funding this is the conference you will not want to miss!
Program includes speakers from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the CT Trust for Historic
Preservation; a panel talk and success stories from prior funding recipients; and much more!
