Local Governments (CLGs) are those municipalities and counties that have enacted
a local preservation ordinance meeting certain standards.
It is through these local ordinances that privately owned properties
can truly be protected with design review. CLGs are eligible for an earmarked
pool of federal grants, may participate in the state preservation
tax credit program, and may attend training workshops and meetings held to
encourage networking among local governments. OAHP staff is
available to assist with the creation of new CLGs and to provide
information to other commissions.
