Once received, proposals are reviewed and scored by an interagency panel of reviewers. If selected, successful applicants will receive a Right of Entry to the premises to allow them to conduct additional tests or stabilization while the final Curatorship Agreement is drafted and presented to the Board of Public Works for approval and signature. All proposals will be reviewed by a selection panel that includes: the area manager where the property is located, the DNR regional engineer, a representative of the Maryland Historical Trust, and the Manager of Curatorships and Cultural Resources.
