KINGMAN -The Kingman City Council has approved manager Ron Foggin’s request to send a letter of support to Arizona’s Congressional delegation in support of an initiative to designate Route 66 as an Historic Trail. Foggin said the effort that began more than five years ago appears to be gaining steam and is beneficial for Kingman.
“One of our treasures and reasons we have thousands of visitors is Route 66,” Foggin said. “Our economy is tied to Route 66 and the visitors.”
Foggin said the proposed designation could bolster efforts to maintain and improve the Mother Road and provide opportunity for the city to seek related grant funded opportunities.
Council approved the letter of support. Foggin said citizens can also express their favor by signing a national petition.
