Map of Resources Identified within the Historical Resources Survey

The Certified Local Government Program is a preservation partnership between 3 government agencies:

• local (Jefferson County)
• state (Texas Historical Commission)
• federal government (the National Park Service)

who are focused on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots level. The program is jointly administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) in each state, with each local community working through a certification process to become recognized as a Certified Local Government (CLG). CLGs then become an active partner in the Federal Historic Preservation Program and the opportunities it provides.

Jefferson County CLG Committee meetings were combined with the regular meetings of the Jefferson County Historical Commission in November of 2016. Minutes of meeting held after that time can be found under the CHC/CLG Meetings page.
