sorry I just walked in uh but and this may not be in necessarily the

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:13:40)

understand that but i'm it just sounds like what we've done is changed where some funding goes and

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:13:47)

it goes into this department of parks heritage and tourism but we're not getting the total amount i mean where all these funding sources

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:13:58)

coming from is what i want to know mr. chair if i may yes you're

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:13:27)

that tax handbook where we can see all these things? ncrc is

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:13:16)

stays with the council. Well, is there a breakdown of that? Is that what our bureau person referred to? There is a separate

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:12:40)

that list. I'd be happy to. So, well, from what the conversation has been, it sounded as if the real estate transfer tax, that 10% used to go to that natural resources with the board you just mentioned, but now it goes to the division? Is that right?

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:11:57)

Okay, and maybe Mr. Riles can say how much in those type grants have been allocated for this past year. Sure, we're

a list or a total amount that is used for the purpose of historic preservation? Yes, yes, we can provide that.

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:11:38)

those funds specifically Well, can we get

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:11:06)

grants, is that right? You're shaking your head yes, I guess. So it's at the

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:10:59)

in a moment. Well, is there any way, since the division actually handles all of those applications and

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:10:20)

Could the real estate transfer 10% be used for preservation of historic structures? And is there more sources of funding for that purpose? I think you'll see in the next appropriation request that we'll get

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:09:46)

Senator Flowers, you are recognized for a

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:09:54)

question. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just for my clarification, so these different funding sources, like the conservation tax, the 10% that goes now from the real estate transfer fee to Main Street or the division, are these stacked for grants for preserving historic structures?

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:03:23)

ALC - JBC Budget Hearings — Oct. 7, 2026 (1:02:49)
