ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – The Cuomo administration is hoping a new statewide series of roadside signs designed to promote New York’s rich history will help boost the state’s economy by steering visitors to historic sites and cultural attractions.

More than 200 signs were unveiled this week in Albany as part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Path Through History” program, a $1 million initiative that will split the funding between 10 regional heritage tourism marketing plans across the state.
