Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Projects

The City of Sedalia’s Historic Preservation Commission, a recipient of a 2022 National Park Service – Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant, has reviewed and recommended the funding of the following applicant projects:

113 East Fourth Street – $55,825	106 West Main Street – $57,750
322 South Ohio Avenue – $62,300	217 West Main Street – $157,977
506-10 South Ohio Avenue – $141,449	406 South Ohio Avenue – $51,023
708-10 South Ohio Avenue – $52,873	418-20 South Ohio Avenue – $31,789
104 West Main Street – $138,600

The City is excited to announce that the first project to get final approval to start work is the 708-10 S. Ohio location. Work continues with the remaining property owners to complete the approval process.

This program is designed to assist property owners in the district to achieve building stabilization and rehabilitation goals while creating opportunities for new commercial and residential spaces. This grant will assist several restoration projects while generating significant private investment above the $750,000 grant funding. This investment will create exponentially positive effects for the community.

The Sedalia Historic Preservation Commission recommended the properties based on economic impact, matching fund and potential to enhance the historic district through their project. Each project goes before Council for contract approval after local building permit requirements are met and prior to being submitted to the National Park Service for technical review and their approval to commence work. If a recommended project does not gain approval in the process, the next ranked proposed project may be moved into recommended project status.

Sub-granters must provide assurance that funds are available prior to start of the project as the funds are reimbursed by the National Park Service (NPS) upon proof of payment and verification that work was completed per the grant agreement (adherence to the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties).

This project is supported through the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program funded by the Historic Preservation Fund as administered by the National Park Service, Department of Interior. The Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program is supported by the Historic Preservation Fund, which is funded by offshore oil and gas lease revenue, not tax dollars.
