Is Your Community a CLG?

Certified local governments are Preservation leaders.

See below a map and list of the many Connecticut communities that have become “certified local governments.”  These communities can take advantage of federal funding, technical assistance, and other benefits.  The map also shows whether your town has a demolition delay ordinance or has created a Local Historic District (LHD).
