Certified Local Government Program

The Certified Local Government (CLG) Program is an initiative in the United States that empowers local communities to actively participate in the preservation of historic sites and buildings. By becoming certified, local governments gain access to federal and state resources, grants, and technical assistance, enabling them to better protect their cultural heritage. The program encourages community involvement in preservation efforts and promotes the significance of local history and architecture. This partnership between local, state, and federal agencies aims to enhance the preservation of historic places, making communities more vibrant and connected to their history.
