​The longest urban stretch is in the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico."

West Central Route 66 Visitor’s Center - Albuquerque
Hello Everyone! Hope you are enjoying The Mother Road through the Land of Enchantment! 
​The New Mexico Route 66 Association has received quite a few inquiries regarding the Route 66 Visitors Center on Albuquerque’s West Side. We wanted to clarify we are not involved with this project. This is a partner project of the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County with the West Central Community Development Group. Please refer all inquiries to: Luis Hernandez, Executive Director| West Central Community Development Group (dedicated to enriching the lives of community members in the West Central area) | 5921 Central Ave NW | Albuquerque NM 87105 | info@wccdg.org | 505.688.4122.  
We met with Luis in February 2021, at which time we discussed their plans and offered our advice. We wish them all the best! (For more information about the February 2021 meeting, a follow-up article was printed in the Spring/Summer 2021 issue of Route 66 New Mexico Magazine. That article is attached for download along with this message.)
Cheers and Safe Journeys wherever you are and wherever you may travel!  Melissa Lea Beasley-Lee, President.
