Funding Plan: Total Project Cost: $215,000 Funding Already Secured: ($5,000) FY2013 State Funding Request: ($50,000) Project Deficit: $160,000 Funding Details: FONSS is actively fundraising and seeking in-kind donations to continue the work to stabilize the Launch Control Building and Guided Missile Maintenance Facility. Total project cost as estimated by the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) is approximately $524,000. Our estimate of $407,670 is based on different assumptions for treating the buildings. Detailed Project Description and Justification: In preparation for guided tours of the Nike Site Summit Historic District scheduled to begin in the fall of 2012, FONSS began building stabilization of the Launch Control Building and the Guided Missile Maintenance Building in the summer of 2011. This followed successful completion of restoration of 3 Sentry Buildings and preliminary roof repairs at two Launch buildings during the summer of 2010 by volunteers. Donations from vendors, in-kind equipment loans and FONSS members have so far paid for repairs, but additional funds are needed to cover the "big jobs" that remain, as follows: Launch Control Building - The objective of stabilization is to seal the building from the elements, restore the exterior of the building to its historic Cold War appearance, and abate hazardous materials from inside the building to make it safe for visitors.

The HPF supports the state and tribal historic preservation programs and provides money for special initiatives to preserve historically black colleges and underrepresented communities. Four bills being considered in Congress have HPF reauthorization provisions, and the administration’s FY17 budget proposal included a provision for permanent authorization. The National Historic Preservation Amendment Act of 2015 (H.R. 2817) would authorize the HPF through 2025 at $150 million annually. The Energy Policy Modernization Act (S. 2012) would permanently authorize the HPF. The American Energy Innovation Act (S. 2089) would permanently authorize the HPF, but goes further than S. 2012 towards full, permanent funding by requiring the funds to be available without needing an appropriation. And S. 556, called the sportsmen’s package bill, has a provision to permanently authorize the HPF.
