November 22, 2022 - - Covelo has a downtown area that sits on either side of Highway 162, and which is about to receive a facelift from Caltrans. With grant funding from the Clean California Act, a beautification project has already been funded which aims to beautify Covelo as well as make it safer and more user friendly. Community members had a chance to walk the project area last Tuesday when representatives from Caltrans came out to present project options and get community feedback. They are still seeking community input by providing a survey that can be found on the Round Valley Area Municipal Advisory Council at mac.roundvalley.org. The survey closes Monday, November 28 at midnight.
