The Santa Clara County Historic Resources Grant Program was established by the Board of Supervisors in June of 2018 in response to a proposal by County Supervisor Joe Simitian. The purpose of the program is to acknowledge and preserve the history of Santa Clara County, with a preference for projects that acknowledge and celebrate untold stories. Projects funded in District Five include restoration of the Roth Building which will be the future home of the Palo Alto History Museum; improvements, restoration and repair at Hakone Estate and Garden in Saratoga; historical maintenance of the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga; and more.
