On Tuesday, Nov. 5, during the administrative public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved Mesa County Public Works to purchase a street sweeper, creating a fleet of two street sweepers, in operation, within the department. The new equipment will allow County crews to sweep every curb and gutter street in Mesa County at least once a year, creating cleaner and safer neighborhoods for all.
