Kaysinger Basin Regional Planning Commission Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program online applications are due 4:00 p.m. June 23, 2025. The priority of this grant program is to return currently vacant, unsafe, or under-utilized historic properties into productive use in such a way that will stimulate economic development and community involvement, increase tourism, stabilize the workforce and reduce talent migration through
increased economic activity. Properties must be used for commercial and/or community activities only. As part of the grant process, you will be required to outline the planned intended use for the property after the revitalization project has been completed. In order to ensure that a historic
resource will be returned to service, priority will be given to projects that are currently on the National Register of Historic Places and that will finalize the preservation, rehabilitation or restoration of the resources during the grant period, which will end August 31, 2027. Local government entities, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and private owners of commercial and/or community properties may apply. Properties must be located in designated downtown and historical districts within the seven-county Missouri region served by the Kaysinger Basin Regional Planning Commission (Bates, Benton, Cedar, Henry, Hickory, St. Clair and Vernon Counties). (Downtown Appleton City is designated as an historical district.) For more information and application workshop dates, visit the Kaysinger website at: www.kaysinger.com or https://kaysinger.com/development/funding/pbhrgrant/
