Historic Infrastructure Management and Jobs Training Act

H.R. 7179 would amend federal law to create the Historic Preservation Workforce Development Program. If enacted, this bill would support workforce training, apprenticeships, and skilled trade development related to the preservation and conservation of historic properties and objects of historical, cultural, architectural, or archaeological significance. The program would award grants to states, territories, local governments, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, and public or nonprofit organizations with experience in historic preservation to fund eligible projects. The bill is currently under consideration by the House Committee on Natural Resources and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
