Governor Robert Bentley has
appointed Tami Reist, president of the Decatur/Morgan County Convention and
Visitors Bureau, to the Scenic Byway Program Advisory Council, effective
immediately. Her term of service will run concurrently with Governor Bentley’s
term of office.
Patterned after the National
Scenic Byway Program, the Alabama Scenic Byway Program seeks to identify,
preserve, protect and enhance scenic, historic, natural, recreational, cultural
and archaeological resources; enhance recreation; and, promote economic
development through tourism and education in the history, culture and natural
beauty of Alabama.
A Scenic Byway is a stretch of
roadway that provides an exceptional travel experience through the State of
Alabama. The following are state designated byways: Appalachian Highlands
Scenic Byway, Barbour County Governor’s Trail, Black Belt Nature and Heritage Trail,
Black Warrior River Scenic Byway, Leeds Stagecoach Route, and Lookout Mountain
Parkway. The Natchez Trace, Selma to Montgomery All American Road, Talladega
Scenic Byway and Alabama’s Coastal Connection are nationally designated byways.
