Snowmass Village grew a little livelier April 27 and 28 after roughly 60 construction sites were approved to start up again so long as approved COVID-19 social distancing and hygiene measures are in place.<\/p>\n

The town\u2019s community development department worked through the weekend to evaluate each site\u2019s COVID-19 safety plans submitted for continued work, ensuring Snowmass construction started back up in a way that would help the local economy and mitigate the spread of coronavirus as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is concerning for all of us. No one wants to be sick and no one wants to get sick, but we know it will happen regardless,\u201d said Julie Ann Woods, Snowmass community development director, referring to the expected increase in COVID-19 cases as a result of restarting construction projects in Snowmass and Pitkin County.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can pace things through the site safety plans and are all aware of the potential impacts going in, hopefully we can keep things under control and not overwhelm our hospitals and health care workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
