Keeseville, NY– The Adirondack Rural Revitalization Program (ARRP) guidelines and application form are now available on AARCH’s website. The Adirondack Rural Revitalization Program (ARRP) is supported in part by a Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. This program will fund capital rehabilitation projects that foster community vibrancy and enhance sense of place within our region’s community and agricultural centers, with a focus on historic main street and agricultural buildings.

The ARRP will drive investment in our North Country communities, providing assistance to small business owners and nonprofits while encouraging rehabilitation in our historic community cores. Applicants must affirmatively answer pre-qualification questions to determine eligibility and access a full application. Application deadline is August 11, 2023. A downloadable copy of these program guidelines is available as a PDF here.
