As part of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s U.S. Highway 160 Reconstruction Project, the town has committed $7.7 million to upgrade pedestrian access, modern lighting, drainage systems, fire protection, and utility reliability. These improvements aim to ensure that Main Street and adjacent areas serve the community effectively for years to come. Read more
