The City of Lake Oswego is now accepting applications for the Historic Neighborhood Preservation Grant for the enhancement of neighborhoods with homes that are older than 50 years. Ideal enhancement projects would provide wayfinding, reader boards, information kiosks, site markers, street sign toppers, oral histories, neighborhood tours or other projects that would help to identify broad patterns of events that helped to shape Lake Oswego. Information could be drawn from various resources from the mid-century modern period, Iron Industry agricultural heritage or other historic trend that characterizes the city’s historic context.
Qualifying projects can receive a grant that provides partial reimbursement of the cost to do the work. Grant applications are available in Planning and Building Services or on line at https://www.ci.oswego.or.us/planning/historic-neighborhood-preservation-grant-program
Applications must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. on or before September 29, 2023 and will be reviewed by the Historic Resources Advisory Board at their meeting on October 11, 2023. Funding is limited and grant awards will be based on the priorities below. Grants are considered taxable income and must be reported on your income tax return. The project must be completed with all paperwork submitted by June 1, 2024.
