Los Alamos officials hope to develop park tourism plan

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — Los Alamos officials want to develop a strategic plan aimed at boosting tourism around the relatively new Manhattan Project National Historical Park. The Los Alamos Monitor reports (http://bit.ly/2gFlJg4) that officials discussed their plans late last week during a meeting with the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities. Officials expect the plan to serve as a road map for the next several years on how Los Alamos County can use Manhattan and the neighboring Valles Caldera National Preserve and Bandelier National Monument. The Manhattan Project Park is one of the more unique parks in the national system. It also includes sites at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state.
