Please be aware that there will be a three (3) year restriction on road openings after paving. This includes utility service connections/upgrades (usually necessary for new additions or certain building work), repairing your driveway by the road, and other work within the public rights-of-way. If this affects you, please contact us immediately for permit information and to complete work before our project begins. Answers to the common road project questions can be found on our website.

Sincerely,
