The Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program announced a few days ago that it is now accepting applications for cost-share grants that will be awarded later this year.
According to an e-mail from deputy program manager Kaisa Barthuli:
Applications may be submitted to the program office until April 11, 2008. Awards will be announced on or before June 13, 2008. Cost-share grant applications are available online here, or may be requested by e-mail at IM_Rt66@nps.gov or phone at (505) 988-6701.
If you have any questions about potential project proposals or the application process, please do not hesitate to contact the program office.
The program is mostly geared to owners of historic Route 66 businesses who need help in shoring up the structure or preserving what they have. The grants can cover up to 50 percent of the cost of the work.
