BULLHEAD CITY, AZ., August 30, 2024 – City of Bullhead City staff and contractors will be working on the following projects throughout our city during the week of September 2:

• Bullhead City Utilities is installing a new well, piping, metering equipment, and valves to the water system near the intersection of Black Mountain Rd and Tesota Way.
• The Optimum Community Center will be closed as the facility is under construction. As part of the larger project, Perco Rock Company of Salt Lake City, Utah, will begin expanding the parking lot on Tuesday to add approximately 400 parking stalls. The parking lot expansion will be ongoing for several months.

The new senior campus expansion will add 9,000 square feet of space to the building, including 7,700 square footage of indoor activity and meeting space and 1,300 square feet of covered outdoor patio space. The City expects to begin expanding the parking lot soon. Construction is expected to wrap up around late September 2024.
