Kingman, AZ

Great news!

We just heard direct from the USDA Rural Housing Department RD Program Director and he confirmed to us that there will be no changes to the Arizona eligible rural areas until the receipt of the 2010 census!

This means we will still have Rural Housing Loans available to us and can keep helping people live the American Dream of Home Ownership at 100% financing here in Kingman!

The High Tech Mortgage folks and REALTORS in the area have worked hard with our legislators to keep Rural Housing Financing in the area at least for now.

I had the pleasure of visiting our Mohave Museum of History and Arts on Friday afternoon to view the new exhibit. The museum is presenting a beautiful collection of fashion through our history.

On display are the beautiful wedding gowns of our first settlers, and a series of fashions worn by both men in women from the 1800's through the 1970's. Along with the clothing they have displayed a wonderful selection of accessories from those times.

I thought I would just stop and view the new exhibit but was charmed by the display of collections and exhibits including dioramas of the Indian culture, mining and much more regarding our town and county. Don't forget the wonderful collection of items owned by Andy Devine, our native son.

The museum has a lovely giftshop featuring art from local artists. What a great way to spend the afternoon with your family.

The museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Saturday 1 p.m.- 5 p.m.

ADOT (The Arizona Department of Transportation) officially began construction to improve the final 15 miles of U.S. 93 south of the By Pass. It is expected to be completed by late 2010 to correspond with the completion of the By Pass. Throughout construction, access will be maintained to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

The new bridge will span the Colorado River just below the Hoover Dam and sit 900 ft above the river. The bypass is expected to speed travel between Nevada and Arizona, cutting the travel time between Las Vegas and Phoenix to under six hours.

Information on the widening project may be found at www.us93corridor.com. Because of expected construction slow downs, visit http://safetravelusa.com/nv. For more information on the bridge can be found at http://www.hooverdambypass.org/.
