Montrose, CO – The City of Montrose is pleased to announce that construction of Grand Avenue from South First Street to South Third Street is complete and the roadway is now open to the public. The public is invited to attend a short ribbon cutting ceremony at the project site at noon on Wednesday, November 8.
