For communities with a higher level of preservation knowledge and activity, the National Park Service offers the Certified Local Government (CLG) program. This agreement between the Park Service, the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and the local community allows for more local involvement in historic preservation activities at the state and federal levels. Massachusetts currently has 27 CLGs. This workshop will cover the requirements and application process for becoming a CLG as well as the benefits.
Please note: you must have a local historic district to become a CLG. Communities without a local historic district may attend this workshop to learn more about the CLG program, but you must establish a local historic district before applying for CLG status.
