Now is the time of year in which you can apply for a cost-share grant from the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program.
These grants, which cover up to 50 percent of the cost of a project, mostly are awarded for repairs or improvements to historic properties along Route 66.
Applications can be found here, or you can e-mail IM_Rt66(at)nps(dot)gov to request a hard copy of the form. Applications can be submitted up to April 2. Cost-share grants will be announced after May 21.
