Section 106 Review for Cultural Resources

Delaware County Planning assists the PA Historical and Museum Commission in reviewing federally funded projects on historic sites.

All projects that receive funding from the federal government, such as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, are required to first undergo the Section 106 review – a “federal review process designed to ensure that historic properties are considered during the planning and execution of Federal undertakings.”  This prerequisite is required under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.   Delaware County Planning Department has been designated as certified staff for review of federally funded projects in these cases, through a Programmatic Agreement with the PA Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
