Key take-away:
"Only structures on, or eligible for, inclusion on state or national Registers of Historic Place are considered for these grants, which are chosen according to government guidelines by a volunteer panel of county residents with expertise in historical structures, the statement said."
There's enough of a tangent between this one and Trinity Lutheran v. Comer that it'll probably stand.
