SUMMARY
Synopsis
of HGUAC Amendment
The House Government and Urban Affairs Committee
amendment adds the Office of Cultural Affairs with the other departments to
cooperate with the Town of Edgewood and other organizations named in the
memorial. Additionally, the amendment
replaces the references to the “Association for Community of Edgewood” with the
“Advancement Corporation of Edgewood.”
Finally, the amendment adds a paragraph that explains the fact that the
Works Progress Administration School House has been named to New Mexico’s 2002
Most Endangered Place list by New Mexico’s Heritage Preservation Alliance.
Synopsis
of Original Bill
House Joint Memorial
48 requests the Economic Development Department, Tourism Department and the
State Highway and Transportation Department to work with the Town of Edgewood,
Project Association for Community of Edgewood and the Edgewood Chamber of
Commerce to preserve, revitalize and promote cultural and historic sites,
tourism and economic development in the Edgewood region.
Significant
Issues
All agencies indicate that there is currently coordination with the Town of Edgewood on various activities. The Tourism Department has had significant influence in the promotion of Route 66 and the municipalities along the historic route. In addition, the town of Edgewood received $10.1 in cooperative advertising matching funds from the Tourism Department. In addition, the town of Edgewood has submitted a Scenic Byways grant application to the State Highway and Transportation Department that requests $210.0 to assist in the renovation of a 1930’s-era Works Progress Administration project school house at the junction of historic Route 66 and NM 344.
This memorial will allow for the formal
coordination of state agencies and local government and organizations.
