The Story goes...

On October 3, 1989, the voters of Phoenix approved $15 million in general obligation bonds to fund the Historic Preservation Program. While $5 million was allocated for the acquisition and restoration of Tovrea Castle, the remaining $10 million was set aside to preserve, protect and enhance other historic properties. The city established the Exterior Rehabilitation Program in fiscal year 1990-91 to further these goals. On March 13, 2001, the voters of the city of Phoenix again expressed their support for historic preservation by approving another $14.2 million in bonds to fund the Historic Preservation Program. On March 14, 2006, Phoenix citizens authorized funding for the Historic Preservation Program for the third time in the amount of $13.1 million. This funding provided additional monies to continue the Exterior Rehabilitation Program. After the final round of Exterior Rehabilitation grants from the 2006 bond was awarded in 2015, the city went several years without funding available. However, in June 2021, the City Council allocated $200,000 from the city’s General Fund toward the Exterior Rehabilitation program. In June 2022, the City Council approved another $200,000 in funding, which is available this fiscal year.
