<p class="MsoNormal"><u>MHC Announcing MPPF Round 29 & Workshops<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secretary William F. Galvin, Chair of the Massachusetts Historical Commission is pleased to announce that
<b>Round 29</b> of the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) grant program has been scheduled. It is anticipated that funding will be in the range of $1,000,000.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Administered by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), the MPPF is a state-funded 50% matching grant reimbursement program established in 1984 to support the preservation of properties, landscapes, and sites listed in the State
Register of Historic Places. Applicants must be a municipality or nonprofit organization. The program is administered in accordance with 950 CMR 73.00.
<b>Please note that grant disbursement is subject to reauthorization of the capital accounts and the availability of sufficient allocated funds.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>This year eleven (11) pre-application workshops will be held in-person and virtually.
</b>To view the dates and locations, visit the MPPF page on the MHC website (<a href="https://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcmppf/mppfidx.htm#sched">https://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcmppf/mppfidx.htm#sched</a>)<b>
</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MHC hopes that your schedule allows you to join a member of the MHC’s Grants Division as they explain the program requirements, go over program materials, and give you the opportunity to ask questions. Workshops are free of charge and
no registration is required. Applicants are encouraged to begin compiling application materials before attending a workshop, or as soon as possible, to allow sufficient time to meet the application deadline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Limited quantities of the hardcopy versions of the Application and Instructions will be made available at each workshop. Please call the MHC at 617-727-8470 or e-mail Paul Holtz at
