Program Basics, Benefits and Requirements

​​​​Any community in Kentucky can become a CLG. A local unit of government that wishes to become a CLG follows a certification process through which it works with SHPO to outline a plan for achieving its preservation goals. Once certified as a CLG, the community gains access to program benefits.

Review the Kentucky CLG Manual for a full discussion of the program, benefits, and requirements for participating communities. 

  • Historic preservation issues are understood and addressed at the local level and integrated into local planning and decision-making processes at the earliest possible opportunity. 
  • Local interests and concerns are integrated into the historic site identification, evaluation, nomination, and protection functions of the State Historic Preservation Office. 
  • Local historic preservation legislation and historic preservation commissions are established in cities where they do not yet exist and are updated, if necessary, where they already exist. 
  • Existing Kentucky Historic Buildings Inventory and Kentucky Archaeological Inventory Information is made available to local communities to use in identifying and defining community and neighborhood development and conservation areas. 
  • Information concerning local historic preservation issues is shared with the Kentucky Heritage Council and the public more readily.
