POMEROY–A co-op formed by several County Ports, identified as Petrachor, is helping with public broadband projects across the state and will be the consultant and trouble mapping service for the fiber internet through the Pataha area, Port of Garfield Manager Diana Ruchert announced at the meeting on April 6. The Port of Garfield County has signed a two-year contract with Petrachor for their services.

The United States Forest Service needs tile replaced throughout most of their building; the Port of Garfield County will pull the low bidder from their small works list.

Proposed road repairs for the Forest Service and Port of Garfield parking lots, as well as the bridge on the access road is estimated to cost $27,000. Repairs are estimated to begin sometime in June.
