Section 8 – COURTHOUSE PERPETUITY Grant funds may not be used for general maintenance needs, but rehabilitation projects often affect the overall maintenance needs moving forward. The following questions are intended to provide the grant selection committee with a better understanding of the future use of and maintenance for the courthouse.

3. What specific measures will be taken to ensure the long-term preservation of the historic character-defining features of the courthouse?(Required)
4. Describe any specific capital projects or improvements outside of the existing grant request planned for the next five (5) years. Please explain how any proposed projects will affect the on-going maintenance of the courthouse.(Required)
5. Estimate how much per year the county’s maintenance costs will change as a result of the proposed rehabilitation project. If maintenance costs will increase, include cost estimates along with planned funding sources. If the project will decrease maintenance costs (a roof replacement that will reverse maintenance on a constantly leaking roof, for example), be sure to describe this and estimate the cost savings.(Required)
6. Describe the county's existing maintenance plan/process and the anticipated revisions to this process that will be needed to appropriately handle newly rehabilitated material/courthouse features.(Required)

Digital versions of large format drawings should be reduced to easily be viewed as either legal or letter size pdfs. Please avoid attaching pdfs of drawings that are over 25MB in file size. If needed, you may attach more than one set of pdf drawings or utilize a cloud storage link rather than direct upload.
