*Snohomish County Heritage Preservation Program now Accepting
Applications *"Preserving
the past, building the future"


Snohomish County is currently accepting applications from public and
nonprofit agencies for projects that develop and promote heritage
preservation in the county.  By providing matching funds on a competitive
basis, the Community Heritage Program supports projects that promote the
public's access to county history. Funding is available for professional
development, public education, capital improvements or collections
management.


 Money is awarded from recording fees collected by the Snohomish County
Auditor. The allocation of these fees for projects that "promote historical
preservation or historical programs, which may include preservation of
historic documents" is authorized under RCW 36.22.170. The revenues accrue
to a dedicated fund and may not be used for any purposes other than those
stipulated in the RCW.

As has been done in the past, the Snohomish County Historic Preservation
Commission will review applications and make recommendations to the
Snohomish County Executive and County Council for final approval.



Previous awards have been used to create a cyber-tour of heritage
landmarks, purchase archival materials for storing museum artifacts and the
digitalization of brittle newspaper collections.

Funds will be available beginning in June and will be awarded on a
competitive basis to applicants who can complete their proposed projects by
Dec. 15, 2014. Funds are *REINBURSED FOR APPROVED PROJECT COSTS ONLY.
* Historically,
project allocations have averaged about $3,500.


Details of eligibility and other program requirements are included in the
application package, which must be filled out and returned to the Snohomish
County's Office of Economic Development by 5 p.m*. Monday, April 7*.
Applications received after that time and date will not be considered.


Applications are available by contacting the Office of Economic Development
at 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, M/S #411, Everett, WA, 98201.

For more information on the program, contact Wendy Becker at
425-388-3186or *wendy.becker at snoco.org
<wendy.becker at snoco.org>*.
