Grundy Center receives certified local government designation

GRUNDY CENTER – Recently, the National Park Service designated 34 communities across the nation as certified local governments – among those communities was Grundy Center.
This designation means that Grundy Center now has the opportunity to participate in the CLG (certified local government) program, which provides local governments with access to historic preservation guidance and grants.
CLG designation makes communities official partners with the federal historic preservation program, which promotes preservation at the grassroots level. As a certified local government, Grundy Center now has access to exclusive grants for historic preservation. One requirement for receiving the designation is that Grundy Center had to make a commitment to historic preservation.
