Recently revived Route 66 Association forms to reflect positive Kingman Image

Last Tuesday, the Route 66 Assn met at the Old Elks Lodge to brainstorm ideas to attract new residents and new commercial development, end the squabbling in city governement and do what is necessary to revive the local Kingman Economy.

Scott Dunton invited local leaders, including city officials, community watchdog groups, developers to discuss ways to accentuate the positives about living in Kingman.

Scott told me on the phone and he truly beleives as we do that Kingman is the best kept secret in the West. Kingman has a great climate, excellent location, plenty of land available, lack of natural disasters and friendly people. The group is looking to buy ads in various parts of the country to let folks know about our great town. They also want to improve signage for the downtown area, bring more visitors and hosting more events in Kingman.

There is another meeting, or Kingman Forum this Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. at the Old Elks Hall. Everyone interested in seeing what the Association is all about should attend.

Let's get everyone involved in improving Kingman's image.
