What's new on New Mexico's Route 66
March 28, 2020 - Associated Press - Albuquerque's support of local businesses along Route 66 is moving forward on a plan now to position shops, motels and restaurants for success post Corona virus shut down.
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said the coronavirus public health emergency is now hitting boutiques, restaurants, bars and other businesses along the route. Most are locally owned.
“The businesses on Central need our support more than ever,” he said. “We are going to use this time to make sure that when we get through this challenge, people come back to Route 66. With this investment now, we hope to help prime our community for a comeback all up and down Central.”
