[Calclg-l] Preservation Loans

[Karana Hattersley-Drayton]

The City of Fresno has a low-interest loan program for historic rehabilitation "on the books" in our Fresno Municipal Code... problem is, it has not been funded for years.   We have discussed in the past trying to put money into this line item, but now (along with many other cities) we are looking at a budget crunch.

Hi- Does anyone out there do this?


*HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE *
*SECTION 37600-37603 *


37600.  This part shall be known and may be cited as the Marks
Historical Rehabilitation Act of 1976.



37601.  The Legislature finds and declares that properties and
structures of historical or architectural significance are an
essential public resource and that it is necessary and essential that
cities, counties, and cities and counties be authorized to make
long-term, low-interest loans to finance the rehabilitation of
properties of historic or architectural significance.  Unless local
agencies have the authority to provide loans for the rehabilitation
of historic properties, many properties of historic or architectural
significance will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate
because loans from private sources are not sufficiently available for
their rehabilitation.  It shall be the policy of the state to
preserve, protect, and restore the historical and architectural
resources of the state.
