Recently, a local city took its tourism efforts into its own hands. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch told Regional Radio that the city has hired a new Tourism Director. Scott McCoy has taken on the role, and the Mayor says he is very energetic. 

McCoy was previously the Mayor of Pontiac, another community that resides along Route 66, and was also involved in the Giants Museum in Atlanta, IL. 

The city took on its tourism this spring. We'll have more with the Mayor on their new Tourism Director and the direction Lincoln tourism is headed next week on Regional Radio.
