Chairperson Lang reported he is reviewing grant opportunities through the National Trust for Historic
Preservation. Chairperson Lang further noted that New York State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) grants have not yet been posted for the current cycle.

Mr. Ball stated that the most recent SHPO grant cycle was competitive and the Commission’s
application was unsuccessful, in part due to the absence of matching funds from the Town Board.
Councilmember Robertson stated he will introduce the concept of grant match requirements to the
Town Board and plan for a new budget line in the Town’s 2027 budget.
