Certified Local Government (CLG) Program

The Certified Local Government (CLG) Program is a partnership between local communities and the National Park Service that supports historic preservation efforts. Eligible city or county governments receive certification, which grants access to technical assistance, grants, and resources to identify, protect, and preserve historic sites within their boundaries. The program encourages local preservation initiatives while ensuring community involvement and adherence to preservation standards. Essentially, it empowers local governments to effectively manage their historic resources, fostering community pride and safeguarding cultural heritage for future generations.
