CLG Reporting

CLGs and the National Register of Historic Places

As part of the partnership between CLGs and KHC, the CLG is responsible for reviewing all National Register of Historic Places nominations for properties within its jurisdiction and commenting about their eligibility. The CLG must submit a report to KHC for each property or district proposed for nomination to the National Register.
