Only 0.05 percent of the governor's 2019 capital budget request would fund Illinois historic preservation projects, according to a state analysis.
In all, the budget includes $4 million for the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, which is a division of the Department of Natural Resources.
All the project funding comes from the capital development fund through the Capital Development Board.
