In a recent meeting of the Grant County Commission, key discussions highlighted community initiatives and ongoing infrastructure concerns that directly impact local residents.

One of the most significant updates came from Commissioner Shelley, who reported that the exploration permit for Tyrone has been granted. This development is expected to facilitate further exploration activities in the area, potentially leading to economic benefits for the community.

Commissioner Medina encouraged residents to participate in the upcoming Summer Fest program hosted by the COVID organization at Cobre High Park. This event aims to provide children with backpacks and school supplies, addressing the needs of families as the school year approaches.

Infrastructure was also a focal point of the meeting, particularly regarding the condition of dirt roads in the Cliff area. Commissioner Flores raised concerns about the state of these roads, especially with the rainy season affecting their maintenance. The county manager assured that the road department is actively addressing these issues, with crews currently working on problem areas. This proactive approach aims to ensure that roads are in better condition before the school year begins, responding to community feedback.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter an executive session to discuss limited matters related to the sheriff's office, although no actions were anticipated to arise from this discussion.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to addressing community needs, from economic development to infrastructure maintenance, as they work towards enhancing the quality of life for Grant County residents.
