The Kentucky Heritage Council (the State Historic Preservation Office) administers a comprehensive state historic preservation program with structure in three areas: the Site Protection Program, the Site Identification and Evaluation Program and the Site Development Program.
The Council administers national historic preservation activities in Kentucky, monitors projects and distributes grants involving federal funds, offers programs and services involving all aspects of historic preservation, and provides technical assistance to local governments, the public, and other agencies.
Major program activities include surveying historic sites, nominating sites to the National Register of Historic Places, administering the Kentucky Main Street program in partnership with Renaissance on Main, overseeing federal and state historic preservation tax credit programs and restoration grants programs, conducting archaeological investigations, and reviewing all federally funded, licensed, and permitted projects.
