A significant update on infrastructure improvements took center stage at the Page County Board Meeting on July 15, 2025, as County Engineer JD King detailed ongoing projects and maintenance efforts.

King reported that work on Hackberry Avenue is nearing completion, with crews actively engaged in shoulder improvements across various districts. "We played in the Southwest District and one in the North Central District," he noted, highlighting the collaborative efforts of his team. Residents have expressed appreciation for the timely repairs, with one neighbor specifically thanking the crew for addressing a pothole quickly.

In addition to roadwork, King mentioned that his team is preparing for upcoming projects, including work on 190 Fifth Street.
