NSO/SP Visitor Center (1Jun92)
(from NSO, NOAO Newsletter No. 30, 1 June 1992)

The New Mexico State Legislature recently appropriated $150,000 as
initial funding for a Visitor Center at Sacramento Peak. This is
approximately one-third of the total cost. The Center will be run
jointly with the Lincoln National Forest Service, the Apache Point
Observatory and other local institutions.  Other funds are currently
being sought from both government and private sources. An account has
been established at a local bank to accept private donations.

With the designation of the Sunspot road, State Road #6563, as a
National Forest Scenic Byway, the number of public visitors coming to
the Observatory will predictably show a significant increase, and the
need to provide appropriate visitor facilities will correspondingly
increase.
