Growth and Changes in Eagle
In recent years, the areas around Eagle have seen a lot of new buildings and homes. To help with the increased traffic from this growth, a new road was built in the early 2000s. This new road, called a bypass, helps cars get around without going through the very center of the village. This was important to keep traffic flowing and to protect historic buildings like the Eagle Tavern.
