Town Manager Alex Brown introduced Jason Ringdahl of Barker Rinker Seacat Architects to the Silver City Town Council at its Feb. 22, 2022, meeting. Brown stated Ringdahl will present what the architects have done to date in reference to a new recreation center, what the town is looking at, and to get direction from the council so the project can move forward.
The project is in the predesign stage right now. Ringdahl is expecting: to begin full design in April; by Jan. 2023 to be letting out bids; construction to start in early 2023; 16 months for completion; and to be open in 2024. He foresees the center being multigenerational, multiuse, and multicultural in its programs – accessible to all.
When Silver City residents were asked in a survey what activities should be in the new Rec Center, the top five, Ringdahl said, were swimming pool, walking dog track, climbing wall, and Zumba and yoga areas. He said there are no funds available in this project for a swimming pool but the town can look to that in the future.

"As of this morning, there have been some changes to the leadership of the hospital," Mike Lieb, interim Gila Regional Medical Center CEO, said Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022. "Kathleen Cahill has resigned as Chief Executive Officer. We want to thank Kathleen for all of her hard work over the past several months, and wish her all success in the future."
In the near term, Mike Lieb, regional vice president for HealthTechS3, will serve as Acting/Interim CEO for GRMC. Over the next several weeks, we will identify a longer term interim CEO to serve in this role.
In addition, Greg Brickner is finishing up his run as Interim CFO this week. "He has done a remarkable job. In his place we are fortunate to have as Interim CFO, Paul Rogers. Paul has held a number of interim CFO positions for HealthTechS3 over the recent years," Lieb said.
Lieb continued: "GRMC has undergone massive change over the past year and a half; most of it extremely positive. The growth and strength the team here has provided will continue to carry this hospital forward for years to come. Make no mistake, there is lots of work yet to be done, and we will need the help of everyone as we go forward. I ask for your patience, enthusiasm and support in the coming months."
Red Flag Warning 022322
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... .Strong southwest flow ahead of an approaching winter storm to the north will promote windy conditions across southern New Mexico and far west Texas Wednesday afternoon. These winds combined with very dry air and favorable fuel conditions will promote high fire danger. Fire will spread quickly in areas with high grass or brush concentrations, with the worst conditions along the Rio Grande Valley mid-afternoon. Higher moisture and cooler temperatures will lessen fire threats over the high mountain terrain.
