FUNDS FOR HISTORIC RESTORATION PROJECTS ALONG ROUTE 66 IN NEW MEXICO AND ELSEWHERE COULD BE DRYING UP. A FEDERAL LAW AUTHORIZING THE ROUTE 66 CORRIDOR PRESERVATION PROGRAM WILL EXPIRE IN TWO YEARS, AND THERE’S NO GUARANTEE IT’LL BE RENEWED.
THE PROGRAM HAS HELPED FUND PROJECTS LIKE THE EL VADO MOTEL NEON SIGN RESTORATION IN ALBUQUERQUE. 20 PROJECTS IN NEW MEXICO HAVE GOTTEN 340-THOUSAND DOLLARS IN GRANTS OVER THE YEARS.
