Nominations sought
for preservation award

The Monmouth County Historical Commission has announced the opening of nominations for its 2004 Preservation Award program.

Eligible nominations include historic properties that were the subject of restoration or preservation work substantially completed in 2003. The properties may be privately owned, or owned by businesses, municipalities or nonprofit organizations. Properties considered for the award program will not include those that have been recipients of previous Monmouth County preservation grants.

"The award program is part of the county’s effort to recognize the efforts of those who preserve our heritage and contribute to the county’s historic stature," said Randall Gabrielan, Monmouth County Historical Commission’s executive director.

The Monmouth County Historical Commission is an official agency appointed by the Board of Freeholders to encourage appreciation for and to foster public awareness of the rich and diverse historic heritage of Monmouth County.

Applications for the award may be made by the owner of the property or a member of the public. The application form may be obtained by writing to the Monmouth County Historical Commission, Hall of Records, Room 201, Freehold 07728; or by calling (732) 431-7413 or (732) 431-7411.
