The Town of Bennett welcomed its new Mayor, Whitney Oakley, with great enthusiasm as she took the oath of office during the Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday night.
After serving as Trustee and Mayor Pro Tem for the past four year, Mayor Oakley brings experience and understanding of Bennett’s needs and goals for the Town’s future.
The Board of Trustees and the Arapahoe County Commissioners approved an Intergovernmental Agreement with Arapahoe County to provide Law Enforcement Services to all of incorporated Bennett on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
The Town of Bennett is excited to have started construction on the remodel of the Public Works Facility, which will now serve as the Town’s Safety Building.
This project is possible in part thanks to a generous $600,000 grant from the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). This remodel will convert the facility to accommodate various essential departments and services. This was strategically designed to improve the building’s energy efficiency and aims to achieve a LEED Silver efficiency rating.
The Colorado Department of Transportation and Ralph L. Wadsworth will begin work March 4, 2024 to replace the aging concrete panels along I-70 eastbound and westbound from Bennett to Deer Trail in Arapahoe County. The project is scheduled for completion on May 3, 2024.
Why is the project needed?
The original pavement was built in 1991. The I-70 driving surfaces are deteriorating, requiring multiple repairs. They need to be permanently replaced for the long-term safety of the traveling public and will also improve driving surface conditions.
Fiore & Sons, INC. and LGI homes has started a road construction project for the widening of State Highway 79 at 38th Avenue. There will be construction along SH-79 at the intersection of 38th Avenue. During this period, SH-79 will be shut down to a single lane road all day (24 hours/day, 7 days/week).
Temporary traffic lights will be set at either end the road work to control the flow of traffic. Travelers can expect delays of up to 5 minutes while waiting for the light to change.
