In February 2026, the City of Kingston received a $50,000 grant from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP)to create a Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan.
Kingston's rich cultural and architectural history spans across several neighborhoods with unique assets and distinct personalities, which makes having a comprehensive plan a great tool for city planners, commissioners, policy makers, residents, and property owners.
With the grant funding, the City of Kingston will hire a nationally accredited consultant to develop the City’s first Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan as well as a City-Wide Historic Design Guidelines. The consultant will conduct robust public engagement, work with City staff and local officials, and with the State Preservation Office to craft a clear vision with tangible guidance for protecting, promoting, and enhancing our local historic and cultural resources.
A Project Advisory Committee will be formed to work closely with City and SHPO staff, along with the consultants.
The New York State Historic Preservation Office announcedsix local governments will receive a combined$180,000 in grant funds to support community historic preservation projects. This funding comes from the federal Certified Local Government (CLG) program.
