HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) is now accepting applications for federal Historic Preservation Certified Local Government (CLG) Grants.

Grants are available to support projects in the following categories:
- Planning
- Design guidelines or design assistance

- Program administration
The deadline for CLG grant applications is Feb. 1, 2013. Projects undertaken between Aug. 1, 2013, and July 31, 2014, are eligible.
