Certified Local Government Program
Throughout New York State, communities are recognizing that historic buildings, sites, and neighborhoods form the core of
economically stable and attractive areas which make an important contribution to the quality of life. Many counties, cities,
towns, and villages are seeking opportunities to preserve the special character of their communities and neighborhoods and
integrate historic resources into planning efforts.
How do you preserve historic buildings while encouraging growth? How do you create programs that foster appropriate
planning and development? Are there sources of funding for preservation activities? Participation in the Certified Local
Government Program (CLG) is one way to get professional guidance and support to shape the future of your community.
In New York, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) coordinates the federally-sponsored CLG Program and provides
assistance to participating/member communities.
