Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the National Park Service is providing $200,000 to help preserve a historic building in Santa Fe.

Funding will be used to make repairs to the 300-year old San Miguel Chapel.  Water damage has put the building's structure at risk.  The grant will support the repair of the roof supports and the drainage system.

"The San Miguel Chapel in Santa Fe belongs to one of the country's oldest neighborhoods.  This funding will help ensure that it is around for years to come," Bingaman said.
