City salutes National Hispanic Heritage Month
|
That's why there's a Spanish flag at City Hall
The City of St. Augustine is offering a salute to its own Spanish heritage by observing National Hispanic Heritage Month with a Spanish flag displayed at the entrance to City Hall.
National Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to include the 30-day period from September 15 to October 15.
St. Augustine was founded by the Spanish in 1565 and except for the brief 20-year British Period, remained a Spanish colony until becoming a territory of the United States in 1821.

Historic Preservation depends on state grants
|
City's historic preservation applications garner high ranking
In the world of historic preservation, grant funding is essential to nearly every project, and the State of Florida's Division of Historical Resources (DHR) has a multilayer program of granting funds to dozens of wide-ranging types of projects across the state each year.
The process to secure the DHR funds is a very competitive one that involves lengthy and detailed applications being reviewed by a panel of historic preservation professionals who rank the applications.
Good news for St. Augustine is that several of its applications have been reviewed in recent weeks and received very favorable rankings.
To learn more about the grant process and the city's projects that have done well in the process thus far,

This week on The Break Room: Kelli Mitchell
|
|
Here's a chance to test your historic preservation IQ
Do you know how many historic preservation districts are in the city, or what type of project would require you to seek approval from HARB?
Do you know the definition and local examples of adaptive reuse, and what business seems to be a natural fit for this type of historic preservation?
There will be answers to these questions and much more when Kelli Mitchell, Historic Preservation Planner, visits The Break Room this week and offers something of a historic preservation vocabulary test. Listen in and see how you do.
Listen to the program now.
The program airs on
WFCF/88.5fm and iHeartRadio on Wednesdays at 5:00pm and again on Saturdays at 8:00am. The Break Room may be heard anytime, on-demand, at
www.CityStAugRadio.com
