Rep. Rogers announces more funding for Scenic Byways WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Representative Hal Rogers (KY-5) has just announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation is releasing $263,200 in federal funding for Kentucky's three National Scenic Byways. The money will be used by the Southern and Eastern Kentucky Tourism Development Association (SEKTDA) for marketing, signage, interpretative planning, byway facilities, coalition building, staffing, and implementation of corridor management plans along Kentucky's National Scenic Byways. Sue Stivers, Executive Director of the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce, is a member of the board of directors of SEKTDA. "Our National Scenic Byway designations serve as a compass for people all over the world," said Rogers. "These beautiful open roads bring travelers and new dollars into our communities. The money that flows into our restaurants, hotels, and shops, ultimately helps boost our economy and bring new opportunities to our people." Rogers added, "This federal funding will help us attract more visitors and make it easier for them to explore our byways and rich heritage." Southern and Eastern Kentucky has three National Scenic Byways: The Country Music Highway (144 mile route from Greenup to Whitesburg), The Wilderness Road Heritage Highway (93.8 miles from Berea to Middlesboro) and the Red River Gorge Highway (46 miles from Stanton to Zachariah). Since the National Scenic Byways program began in 1996, there are 98 Scenic Byways located in 46 states that have received this special designation. Under the program, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation recognizes certain roads as National Scenic Byways based on six qualities that are considered representative, unique, irreplaceable, or distinctly characteristic of an area. Rogers secured funding and designations for Kentucky's National Scenic Byways to assist the Southern and Eastern Kentucky Tourism Development Association (SEKTDA) in efforts to bring visitors to the region and boost local economies.
