Fourteen projects, including one in the Martin County community of Shoals, are expected to receive federal financial assistance through the U.S. Department of Interior’s National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund.
The program is administered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology.
A grant to the town of Shoals would assist with stabilization of the 1872 Mohr Building, which is a significant three-story commercial building and has been vacant for more than a decade.
The dollar amount of the grant was not given.
However, this year, the HPF grant awards total more than $635,000 which will be matched by the applicants with more than $604,000 for a total investment of more than $1.2 million for Indiana’s historic and cultural resources.
