OBJECTIVE: To leverage state grant funds to complete the restoration of the historic cottages at Mar-Good Harbor
Park in Goodland to further the County’s strategic objective to preserve and enhance the character of our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Mar-Good Harbor Park was acquired in 2005 through a Florida Communities Trust (FCT)
reimbursement grant. The park has been developed with a community building, playground, canoe/kayak launch,
pathways and pavilions, and other recreational amenities and is operated by the Parks and Recreation Division. The park
received a local historic designation in 2015 (Resolution No. 2015-15). Restoration of the cottages is a condition of the
2005 FCT grant. Architectural work toward this end was completed through a Division of Historic Resources Small
Matching Grant in 2020.
Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources (DHR) offers Special Category Grants for the purpose of
providing funding to assist local, regional, and state-wide efforts to preserve significant historic structures and
archaeological sites and promote knowledge and appreciation of the history of Florida.

Commission. Projects were ranked and then, if selected, received funding in the state budget in accordance with the
