Critical News ~ RE: The future of the America's Byways Resource Center
Dear Byway Community:
As we welcome the New Year, we also begin our work of closing the Resource Center. Funds allocated to the America’s Byways Resource Center by Congress were withdrawn by the Secretary of Transportation.
Our first priority is to identify which of our products and tools can have a lasting legacy for the byway community. Our parent organization, the Arrowhead Regional Development Commission (ARDC), owns the rights to all the products, materials and publications. We will assess, in consultation with ARDC and FHWA, our products, services and publications for their long-term benefits and potential life beyond the Resource Center.
Our second priority is to provide as much advice, information and technical assistance as we can to byways before we close the doors. We have developed many valuable products for byway management and development such as Byways 101, Economic Impact Tool, National Scenic Byway Program Coordinator Guide, www.BywaysResourceCenter.org, and the Journal for America’s Byways, etc. We also provide excellent customized technical assistance. We will make every effort to ensure that byways have as much information and resources as we are able to provide until our office closes.
Our current plans include closing the Resource Center to you, the byway community, on June 30, 2012.

Her last day is January 4. Gina provided editing, proofreading and guidance for the Resource Center’s very successful publication, the Journal for America’s Byways.
