County Road Improvements

County Road Improvements

Starting on July 15^th and going possibly through July 17^th , weather depending,  we will have a contractor pulling the old asphalt up, grading, and repaving the bottom stretch of County Rd from Highway 89A up to where the cobblestones start. This job should only take a few days, and we will try to be as accommodating to local traffic as possible. You may be able to use Giroux as an alternate route as well.  Sorry for the inconvenience as we continue to make infrastructure improvements throughout Town.

Thanks and Happy 4^th!!
