WEBB CITY, Mo. — After months of work, the city’s new Route 66 Center will open for business Tuesday.

Located in a former gas station one block west of Main Street on Broadway, the center will house office space; a shop featuring Route 66 and Webb City merchandise; and a display room and meeting space.

The focal point of the building is a mural by Mayor John Biggs.

Refreshments and a ribbon-cutting ceremony are set for 10 a.m. Tuesday. The public is invited to attend.
