Opportunity Summary:

The Recovery Act Ney Ranch Restoration in Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RECOVERY ACT BLM MT10 RFA1788) was a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on cultural and historic resource stewardship tied to recreation resource management (CFDA 15.225). The project centered on the Ney Ranch area in Montana and, more specifically, on the 1905 Henneberry log house, a historic structure requiring careful documentation and a clear plan for how it should be protected and brought back into appropriate condition.

At the core of the opportunity was the preparation of a Historic Structure Report (HSR). An HSR is a professional preservation planning document that compiles a building s known history, its existing physical conditions, and a set of recommended treatments based on established preservation standards. In this case, the HSR was intended to accurately outline what features of the Henneberry log house remained original and intact, what portions had been modified over time, and how the original character-defining elements could be preserved while altered components could be restored or addressed appropriately. The work was not simply a general write-up; it was meant to be detailed enough to guide real-world decision-making about the structure so that any future work would be defensible, historically accurate, and consistent with preservation best practices.

The grant also emphasized treatment objectives spanning preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration. That wording signals that the selected applicant would be expected to think across the full range of accepted historic building approaches: preserving surviving original materials where feasible, rehabilitating the building in ways that allow continued use while maintaining historic integrity, and restoring elements that had been changed in a manner that is historically supportable. In practical terms, this typically means documenting existing conditions, identifying causes of deterioration, recommending methods and materials for repair, and laying out priorities and sequences for work so that sensitive features are not inadvertently damaged during stabilization or upgrades.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $127,000, which also functioned as the award floor ($127,000). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. The posting and creation date was November 20, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 3, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on March 1, 2010.

Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement through Grants.gov (Additional Information Link: www.grants.gov). For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at landerso@blm.gov.
