Yavapai County is hosting two public meetings, to discuss the Verde Connect project with the community. The first meeting will be held at the Cottonwood Recreation Center on September 26th, and the second on October 2 at the Camp Verde Community Library. Both meetings will begin at 6:00 p.m. Study team members will provide an overview of the project and report on the findings from more than 350 surveys completed. The project is projected to be a two-lane roadway and bridge across the Verde River to connect the northern portion of the Yavapai-Apache Nation and the Town of Camp Verde to Highway 260. The new roadway would also provide some relief for locals to get around traffic congestion and would serve as an I-17 bypass. More information can be found at verdeconnect.com
