Council hears multi-project infrastructure update; Blue Jay Way delayed by Buy America issue

Jul 28, 2026

Town Manager Bret Howser updated the Council on multiple projects: Elk Drive SAA near completion, Blue Jay Way delayed about one month due to Buy America compliance after pavement removal, Unit 3 SAA work begun, Forest Drive setbacks from CenturyLink coordination, Steam Engine Road work underway, and shuttle stop foundations being poured.

The full story

Town Manager Bret Howser briefed the council on active infrastructure projects and recent complications. He said the Elk Drive Special Assessment Area work is substantially complete pending final state approval, and that Blue Jay Way work was delayed about one month because of materials compliance issues under the federal Buy America Act after pavement had already been removed; the town is soliciting quotes to pave rerouted, non‑excavated portions.
