Committee approves $226,000 for Cape Cod Museum of Art preservation with historic restriction

The committee approved funding for elevator and rehabilitation work at the Cape Cod Museum of Art and required that any funding be accompanied by a historic-preservation restriction. Committee member (S6) proposed a split between historic-preservation reserves and undesignated funds and later amended to a final total that the committee approved on the record.

Members discussed eligible costs and whether contingency and certain items would be fundable under CPC historic guidelines; committee members asked staff to ensure the items were fundable and that any Secretary of the Interior standards be followed for preservation work. The motion passed after members confirmed the restriction would be applied where required.
