twitterBoulevard to get scenic byway funds
Friday, April 18, 2003 | 9:40 a.m.
The Federal Highway Administration will provide $25,000 to help develop a scenic byway plan that will include signs highlighting the role neon has played on Las Vegas Boulevard, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta announced Thursday.
The scenic byway grant will also be used to highlight the historic nature, tourist qualities and unique aspects "of this special stretch of urban American road history," Mineta's spokesman said.
The grant was one of two that Nevada received from the $24 million scenic byway project fund, which is being divvied up among 206 projects in 42 states.
