Abstract:
This document summarizes a number of financial programs -- primarily grants, loans and tax benefits -- that
support historic preservation, renovation and rehabilitation projects and programs in Portland. These programs
are offered by various governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations at the national, state and local levels
and cover a variety of activities, such as preservation planning, surveys and documentation, public education
and "bricks and mortar" restoration and rehabilitation work. Some are only available to non-profit organizations
and governmental agencies, while others may be taken advantage of by private citizens, property owners and
for-profit businesses. [From the document]
