Natural Resources (DNR) for Phase II of the Downtown Walking Tour
Brochures Project.
Background:Earlier this year the Augusta Commission authorized submission of a grant
application to DNR to help finance development of Phase II of Web-based
walking tour brochures for downtown Augusta. The grant application was
submitted to DNR on June 12, 2009. On August 11, 2009, the city of Augusta
received written notification of a matching grant award of $10,000 under the
Preserve America Program.

develop web-based information sheets covering historic resources on Greene
St., Reynolds St. and part of Broad St. in downtown. Resources on Telfair St.
and part of Broad St. were documented under Phase I of the project, which was
completed in 2008. The Planning Commission will manage the project and
provide some of the required in-kind match.Others providing cash and in-kind
donations to the project include the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau,
the Downtown Augusta Alliance and Christian Studios.
Financial Impact:This is a reimbursable grant program. As a resiult, the city will have to make
periodic payments to the project consultant and then request reimbursement
from DNR. The maximum temporary cost to the city is $10,000. THe project
budget is as follows - Preserve America Grant - $10,000; Local Match (cash and
in-kind) - $15,000. Total - $25,000.
