Jointly administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the National Park Service, Kentucky's Certified Local Government Program is a local, state, and federal partnership that promotes historic preservation planning and protection of prehistoric and historic resources at the local level.
In the CLG Program, you take the lead in understanding and addressing historic preservation issues at the local level, seamlessly integrating them into your community's planning and decision-making processes. We empower you to ensure your local interests shape the functions of the State Historic Preservation Office, helping establish or update legislation and commissions for effective historic preservation. Plus, you gain direct access to valuable inventory information, enhancing your ability to identify and define areas for community development and conservation.
