The Camp Verde Town Council chambers were packed on the night of June 19, with barely any free seats. After quickly getting through some of the minor matters on the council’s docket, the council got to the topic that had brought dozens out from the community with strong opinions: A resolution opposing the county’s Verde Connect road project connecting State Route 260 and Cornville Road.
“Could I just have you raise a hand if you something that you would like to say in favor of the road?” Mayor Charlie German asked to start off the discussion. The crowd laughed. No Camp Verde residents raised their hands. For months, a group of Camp Verde residents, largely from the Middle Verde Road area of town, have expressed opposition to the road project, due to the plans to build a road over the Verde River just north of the neighborhood, and the intention to connect the road to Middle Verde Road.
