Scholarship winners, Gateway Arches among this week’s Amarillo community news

Amarillo’s Gateway Arches to get upgrade

The Center City Gateway Arches Restoration Project began Saturday, Sept. 21 at four locations. The project will greatly enhance the Center City Gateway Arches, which have become a well-known Amarillo feature as motorists enter and leave downtown.

The project, which will include installation of a wide array of LED lights (which can change colors to reflect holidays), is funded through a collaboration of the City of Amarillo, Center City and Center City Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 1 (TIRZ). The first phase of the project begins Saturday with the removal of the arches. Installation of the arches with new LED lights will be announced at a future date.
