Morris County Historic Preservation

The Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders created the Morris County Historic Preservation Trust Fund Review Board (HPTFRB) in 2003. The HPTFRB was formed to review, prioritize and make recommendations to the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders on the funding of historic preservation projects under the Historic Preservation Trust Fund.

The HPTFRB is made up of eleven members: 2 at-large representatives; 4 municipal representatives from each of four regions of Morris County (see Map of County Regions); 1 member of the Morris County Heritage Commission; 3 appointees with professional expertise in historic preservation, one of each from the disciplines of preservation architecture, architectural history and restoration; 1 appointee with a background as an archeologist, historic landscape specialist, historic site manager, historic site curator or engineer with historic preservation expertise. For more details on the HPTFRB, including terms of office, see the Trust Fund Rules and Regulations (Section 5.11).
