New Mexico Business Weekly reports that the state’s scenic byways have received a total of $500,000 in federal grants. At least one of the grants will go to Route 66:
Bernalillo County will receive $80,100 for the construction of El Camino Real/Route 66 Urban Plaza, which will create an interpretive kiosk on Isleta Boulevard. It will serve as a destination for travelers touring the historical route.
For those out of the loop, Bernalillo County is part of the Albuquerque metro area.
