In evaluating applications for acquisition funding, an important consideration is the
appropriateness of the size of the site to be acquired. Determinations of the
appropriateness of site size will be made on a case-by-case basis and will depend on the
characteristics for which the property is considered to be significant. Sufficient property
should be acquired to assure that the historic relationship of a structure or archaeological
site to its surrounding environment is preserved. However, it is important that no more
property than is necessary to achieve established preservation objectives be included in
the acquisition project application. As this factor is crucial to favorable consideration of
your grant application and will have substantial impact on the cost of the required
application documentation, we encourage prospective applicants to consult with the staff
of the TOC Administrative Office prior to initiating the required documentation.
