Scenic/Historic Highway Programs (Including the Provision of Tourist/Welcome Center Facilities)
		Objective: This category includes the protection and enhancement of scenic or historic highway programs and sites, including NC Scenic Byways, National Scenic Byways, as well as other State and Federal-designated and/or eligible historic highways, regardless of the functional classification of the road. Historic highways must also be listed on/eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Applicants must include documentation of National Register listing/eligibility with their application to be eligible under the historic highway provision.
TE funds may be used only for activities that will protect and enhance the scenic and historic integrity and visitor appreciation of an existing highway or adjacent area. The construction of tourist and welcome center facilities, whether new or existing, must have a clear link to a scenic or historic site.
