Please help: Always fight to protect our culture, religion, architecture, history, small businesses, & morals. What is endangered are 2 of our community's most significant sites, Ohr Natan synagogue at the 1939 World's Fair-inspired Art Deco Trylon Theater & the Colonial Tower Diner housed within a classic bank building. A huge thank you to Jenna DeAngelis of CBS News for my interview :

What do you know about the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF)?
▪ It was originally established in 1977 to assist states in carrying out their preservation activities.
▪ Funding is provided from Outer Continental Shelf oil lease revenues, NOT tax dollars, and an amount is appropriated annually by Congress.
▪ The authorization level of the HPF has not increased since its establishment in 1976, and since that time, it has never been fully appropriated, even after the creation of more programs and offices over the years.
▪ This past July, the House of Representatives passed the INVEST in America Act in which Congresswoman Leger Fernández of New Mexico added an amendment to increase funding for the HPF so we may continue to expand our support for cultural and historic projects across the country!
▪ Increasing funding for the HPF will help speed infrastructure development and preserve sites, buildings, and objects critical to the American story!!

We encourage you to join Preservation Action, which is the grassroots organization that tracks and promotes policies that affect our world.
Your advocacy for history and preservation is paying off, as the Historic Preservation Fund may see an increase in funding this coming fiscal year! The FY22 House Interior Appropriations Bill is investing in historic preservation through Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, State Historic Preservation Offices and several successful grant programs. This funding will have a major impact on cultural resources. Check out the breakdown from Preservation Action:
