This certification also makes Woodland Park eligible for grants provided by a combination of funds from the National Park Service and the History Colorado State Historical Fund. Properties designated by CLGs also become eligible for the Colorado Historic Preservation Income Tax Credit through the History Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.

The City of Woodland Park passed its historic preservation ordinance in 1994 and has spent over twenty years identifying and preserving its cultural resources. Five years after designating the first landmarks as a City Council, a historic preservation commission was appointed in 1999. Since then, the commission designated eight properties as landmarks.

Woodland Park's preservation efforts are now recognized not only statewide in Colorado, but across the nation, and are an example of how Colorado’s communities can take an active and meaningful role in preserving their historic and cultural resources.
