Pacific Power updates fire hazard measures in Garden Creek and South Poplar area

Residents of Natrona County can look forward to enhanced safety measures as Pacific Power announced plans to upgrade power lines in the Garden Creek and South Poplar areas. This initiative aims to reduce fire hazards associated with the central mountain region, a concern that has been increasingly pressing. Public meetings will be held to inform the community about the timeline and specifics of the work, ensuring that residents stay informed and engaged.

In a significant community development, the county recently dedicated a columbarium for unclaimed individuals who have passed away. This project, which took over a year and a half to complete, provides a respectful resting place for those whose families could not be located. The county coroner has been instrumental in this effort, working diligently to return remains to families whenever possible.

Additionally, the Board of County Commissioners approved a new gun freeze zone bill, reflecting ongoing legislative efforts to enhance public safety. These decisions underscore the county's commitment to addressing both immediate safety concerns and long-term community needs. As these initiatives move forward, residents can expect continued updates and opportunities for involvement.
