To Utah "You Show Us the Best" Award Winners

We were pleased to learn, after our article in September's On the Move, that the Region 8 County Road Advisor Award "You Show Us the Best" was given to Uintah County and the Uintah Special Service District. This award was given for the combined effort of these agencies, the Community Impact Board in leveraging resources and asphalt producer, Ned B. Mitchell, Inc., to provide a better road for the traveling public. Hats off for a job well done!
