Bilingual brochures announcing the 2000 program were mailed to over 1, 400 residents and property owners of the Elgin Historic District, Spring/Douglas Historic District and Elgin National Watch Historic District . The letters invited potential applicants to discuss projects with the Urban Design & Preservation Specialist to ensure supporting documentation would be submitted for consideration. Through this process projects were planned to maximize the scores and obtain the best benefit from the grant . The following criteria were used to evaluate and score submitted applications . Maximum points for each criterion are indicated in parenthesis : 1 . Current historic significance of the structure based on Professional surveys of the Historic Districts (10) Note : An additional 10 points were granted to a property if its significance changed from non-contributing to contributing, or contributing to significant after the grant project was completed. .
