Prior to her promotion, Ms. Lavertue said she was a Resident Engineer in the Prescott Valley area. Her office remains in Prescott, but she plans to visit Kingman every two weeks.

“I look forward to overseeing all of this,” Lavertue said. “We have a lot of projects going right now that should be completed soon.”

She said the West Beale Street project should be finished in late spring 2027.
