The Certified Local Government Program is a preservation partnership between 3 government agencies:

• local (Jefferson County)
• state (Texas Historical Commission)
• federal government (the National Park Service)

who are focused on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots level. The program is jointly administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) in each state, with each local community working through a certification process to become recognized as a Certified Local Government (CLG). CLGs then become an active partner in the Federal Historic Preservation Program and the opportunities it provides.
