Miller move helps historic buildings

A new public lands bill includes a provision to save historic landmarks.
President Obama signed the bill into law Monday. It includes a provision from U.S. Rep. Brad Miller, a Raleigh Democrat, to preserve landmarks around the country.
Miller and Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio have pushed a preservation bill for the past year. It would have put congressional authority behind two existing programs, Save America's Treasures and Preserve America.
After the bill was blocked in the Senate, its provisions were added to the public lands bill.
The provision authorizes $300 million during the next four years for two grants programs: One on preserving historic buildings, the other for tourism and education.
In North Carolina, a Save America's Treasures grant is already being used to preserve the Woolworth building that was home of the Greensboro sit-in. (N&O)
