Hello All: My name is Gary Hunter, a life-long resident of U.S. Highway 6 with over 80% of my 65 years spent living along the Historic Highway with addresses like 12673 State Route 6 Chardon, Ohio or 13752 GAR Hwy. Hambden, Ohio, or 4131 US Hwy. 6 Rome, Ohio. As a 28 year Trustee in Rome Ohio, I have been promoting Route 6 and the surrounding communities for years. My Wife Pat and I are excited to be promoting Historic U.S. Route 6 across the State of Ohio and beyond.

Soon I plan on meeting with SPONOSORS of the business community located along the Grand Old Highway. I look forward to talking about the goals of the U.S. Route 6 Association and the role individuals, businesses and government can play in making our Mission a success. I also want to learn about the primary concerns communities have regarding economic development and cultural preservation and how we can best serve their needs.

Join the team and become part of the decision making process. My first project is to establish an Advisory Committee.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or desire additional information.
