Oro Valley will cut the ribbon on the $10.7 million Lambert Lane Project on June 21. (See Upcoming Events).  According to Oro Valley Finance Director Stacey Lemos: "The funds [for the project] were derived from Pima Association of Governments (PAG) Highway User Revenue Funds (HURF), also known as HURF 12.6% funds in the amount of $10,578,000. Oro Valley contributed roadway development impact fee funds of $122,000. The actual cost of $10,700,000 came in under the original budget of $13,200,000 by $2,500,000."  It is a beautiful road improvement that was built for less than budget.  Nicely done!
