The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $4 million Project Grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program to the Idaho Department of Transportation. The grant funding will support repair and replacement of historical markers across Idaho, as well as modernization of the state's historical markers program. This includes creation and placement of QR codes on markers to enable digital delivery of information and content, supporting recovery of the local tourism sector. The EDA investment aims to make Idaho's historical markers program more resilient to fluctuations in tourism by increasing employment opportunities and advancing regional economic resiliency.
