The Interstate Historic Preservation Trust Fund Grant Program was established from the proceeds generated from the sale of historic buildings impacted by Interstate-4 and Interstate-275 expansions. The purpose of the Trust Fund Grant Program is to enable the owners of historic properties to preserve the character and structure of those historic properties by providing exterior preservation funds for eligible owners and projects.  Funding is offered to eligible property owners in the National Register Historic Districts of Ybor City, Tampa Heights and West Tampa,  constructed more than seventy-five (75) years prior to the date of the application and must be the legal homestead of the applicant. Furthermore, applicants must qualify as a Moderate Income household, as determined by the State of Florida’s State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program, which are households that do not exceed 120% of the Median Family Income for the area.  In addition to the Moderate Income household limits, the applicant and their household must also exhibit that a financial need exists by demonstrating that the amount of ready assets possessed by the household is limited to $40,000.00.

The next cycle deadline for Interstate Historic Preservation Trust Fund Grant Program applications is November 3, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. For additional program information and the application, please visit the Trust Fund Program page.  All applications must be submitted to the Purchasing Department, City of Tampa, 306 E.
