Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the City Clerk’s Office - Historic Preservation Commission to accept and spend a Certified Local Government grant received through the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the City Clerk’s Office - Historic Preservation Commission to accept and spend a Certified Local Government grant of $24,900 awarded by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The grant funds an intensive architectural survey of portions of the City’s Sherman Park neighborhood, and the research and preparation needed to nominate the A.O. Smith Engineering Building for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
No City match is required by this grant.
The Sherman Park survey is the first step toward listing portions of the neighborhood with National Register of Historic Places, which could eventually make the designed properties eligible for tax credits for upkeep expenses and the costs of future development.
Listing the A.O. Smith Engineering Building, on the grounds of the City’s Century City redevelopment project, with the National Register could facilitate Century City’s development by making tax credits available for the costs of future development of the building.
Independent expert contractors will provide all survey, research and preparations of National Register Nominations incidental to this grant, while the City Clerk’s Office - Historic Preservation Commission will act solely as general contractor for the grant by letting contracts, and providing direction and management oversight for the grant project
