CANYON COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION (HPC) TO HOST GRANT APPLICATION WORKSHOP
CALDWELL, ID — On Wednesday, February 18th, 2026, the Canyon County Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will host a grant application workshop at 6:30 PM at the Canyon County Administration Building, 111 N 11th Ave, Suite 130, Caldwell.
The Canyon County Historic Preservation grant program awards funds to qualified nonprofit organizations within the county that aim to preserve, protect, and maintain access to historic objects, materials, or properties. Canyon County is the only county in Idaho that allocates a portion of its property tax revenue—no more than twelve one-thousandths of one percent (0.012%)—to support grants for historic preservation projects each year.
Past projects funded by this program include building improvements to the Greenleaf Museum, the nomination of the Patricia Romanko Library building in Parma to the National Register of Historic Places, and the digitization of oral history interviews at the Warhawk Air Museum, among others.
Organizations interested in applying for funding for the 2027 fiscal year (beginning October 2026) are encouraged to attend the workshop to gain an overview of the application process and have their questions answered.
