How will the amounts of the grants be decided?
The public is invited to vote online for the places they would like to see receive preservation funding. The winner of the public vote is guaranteed to receive a grant. American Express, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a special Advisory Committee made up of local preservation, business and civic leaders review the public’s votes along with each site’s monetary needs to determine how the rest of the $1 million in preservation grants will be awarded.
