That property now overlooks the new $12 million partial continuous flow intersection (PCFI), which is a modern traffic design geared to decrease congestion at this busy intersection.

This accreditation is so rare, only 49 sheriff offices in the U.S. have attained this status and only 22 have attained it under a different sheriff than the one who had originally attained the Triple Crown Award.

On July 6, District 3 Commissioner Jeff Baker joined the County's Public Works and Development (PWD) Road & Bridge Division for a public forum with Box Elder residents to discuss possible road solutions, the budget challenges inherent to this and all road maintenance projects, and the property tax dynamics within the 116 five-acre properties that make up the community.
