In 1971 the Legislature established the Maine Historic Preservation Commission to implement State policy to "preserve the architectural, historic and environmental heritage of the people of the State, and to develop and promote the cultural, educational and economic benefits of these resources." The Commission is an independent agency within the Executive branch of state government that functions as the State Historic Preservation Office.

Its Director serves as the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) upon appointment by the Governor. The office administers the programs of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 in Maine, which includes the identification, evaluation, and protection of the state’s significant cultural resources.

The Commission anticipates awarding approximately $90,000 in matching grants for Historic Preservation projects sponsored by Certified Local Governments. Eligible projects include architectural or archaeological survey, public education, preservation planning, National Register nominations or development or pre-development projects. The minimum grant award is normally $10,000 and all grant funds require a minimum 25% non-federal match.

Eligible historic buildings and sites for development and pre-development projects are those that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places either individually or as contributing resources in a National Register-listed historic district.
