Tour Stop Competition
The Commission created this competition among cities in 10 Missouri counties for the design and development of improvement projects in the state of Missouri that serve as “signature tour stops” for the route throughout the state. The Commission is offering competitive design sponsorships up to $15,000 for the lucky designs selected – with matching fund sponsorships of up to $125,000 to build these signature stops.
Interactive Shield Signs
The Missouri Route 66 Centennial Commission will offer sponsorships up to $15,000 for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a large Missouri Route 66 Interactive Shield Sign. The primary objective is to foster unity and connectivity among the signs across the communities in 10 Missouri counties on Route 66.
