PROCESS CHANGE ANNOUNCED FOR PRESERVING OREGON GRANTS 
 
The Preserving Oregon Grant, offered by the State Historic Preservation
Office, offers funds for rehabilitation work on properties listed in the
National Register of Historic Places, or significant work contributing
to identifying, preserving and/or interpreting archaeological sites.
Oregon Heritage now offers an online application process for the grant,
which is easy to access, editable and savable repeatedly until the time
of submission. 
 
Applying for the Preserving Oregon Grant involves setting up an account
on the OPRD Grants Online program, receiving registration approval and
submitting a letter of intent to apply. Heritage staff will contact
applicants to discuss their project and funding requirements and,
perhaps, schedule a site visit. Following that review, staff will notify
applicants via email with an approval to apply for the grant. 
 
The deadline to submit a letter of intent for the next grant cycle is
Sept. 9 and the next application deadline is Sept. 30. Submit your
letter of intent as soon as possible to get the best support for your
application. To learn more about the grant and the new application
process, visit the Preserving Oregon (
http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/docs/2013_PO_OnlineApplicationInstructions.pdf
) section of the Grants page at www.oregonheritage.org. Still have

EXCHANGE FEATURES NEWBERG HISTORIC BUILDING RESTORATION EFFORT 
A couple of weeks ago on the morning of December 13, a fire of unknown
origins began in a National Register-listed building that houses the
Critter Cabana and First Street Yoga businesses in Newberg. While the
majority of the building was untouched by fire itself, the structure
suffered smoke damage and other damage sustained in extinguishing the
fire. Visit Heritage Exchange ( http://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/ )
to learn how Newberg rallied to help the historic downtown building and
businesses housed within it through the restoration process.
