Public Information
ACC has designated an on-site public information manager to provide the town and its visitors with current and accurate information about the project, and the plan for maintaining traffic. Similarly the public information manager will work with businesses and the Town to understand their constraints to minimize the impacts of construction, and assure visitors have ready access to all the things that make Ridgway a great place to visit.
