Feingold Continues Push to Support Historic Barn Preservation Program
Posted at 13:44:46 on April 19, 2004
Senator Russ Feingold's office put out a release today (read full release here) on Historic Preservation:
U.S. Senator Russ Feingold has joined a bipartisan group of his Senate colleagues in urging the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture to fund the Historic Barn Preservation Program at $10 million, as authorized under the 2002 farm bill. The letter sent today is part of Feingold's continued effort to support the program aimed at preserving some of our nation's national treasures.
Historic barns are among America's greatest national treasures..." the letter read. "Unfortunately, due to decades of deferred maintenance, many historic barns are in disrepair and some are nearly beyond rescue. Preservation of these barns will not only ensure their survival for generations to come, it will provide practical benefits to the farmers that own them, the communities that surround them, and the local economies that they help support."
