On Tuesday, July 7, at 6:00 p.m., the Silver City Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a work session at the Grant County Administration Building to discuss a proposed Opportunity to Purchase (OTP) ordinance (see attached).

OTP and Tenant Opportunity to Purchase (TOPA) are laws that give residents who rent property the first chance to buy it when sold. This prevents displacement, preserves affordable housing, ensures sellers receive a fair price, and removes the property from the speculative market.

OTP applies to manufactured home communities (MHCs) (aka mobile home parks) and gives land tenants the legal right to purchase their community land when it goes for sale. There are support organizations that make the doable.

"I started my journey as a student athlete, playing tennis for Western New Mexico University. My goal was to be involved in the community as much as possible. For this main reason, I held several key employee work-study positions on campus and was president of two different clubs, Delta Mu Delta International Business Society and Rotaract Club, as well as the vice president of the WNMU Marketing Club,"

He and his wife, Jazmin, who grew up in Silver City have four sons.

He graduated with business degrees in accounting and marketing, and had an opportunity to participate in the training program for financial advisors with Edward Jones in Tempe, AZ.

The Southwest Women's Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC) is collaborating with the Bayard and Silver City Public Libraries with four outreach activities for youth. Silver City Public Library programs will be held on July 7, 8 and 9th with the Bayard Public Library program on July 21, 2026. All programs are from 2 pm to 4 pm. 

Sharing fiber art skills with youth is not only part of SWFAC's mission but empowers youth with skills. According to Scholastic.com, crafting helps build fine motor skills, boosts counting and pattern recognition, encourages critical thinking, builds resilience, supports self-esteem, encourages a creative mindset, and develops patience. 

At the Silver City Public Library on Tuesday, July 7, youth can make a basket. On Wednesday July 8, will be pinata making, and Thursday, July 9, youth can learn to sew and embroider on cards made at the Future Forge.

Las Cruces, NM — Today, State Representatives Micaela Lara Cadena (D-Mesilla), Angelica Rubio (D-Las Cruces), Eleanor Chávez (D-Albuquerque) and Senator Carrie Hamblen (D-Las Cruces) announced plans to introduce legislation establishing a statewide moratorium on large-scale data center development in New Mexico.

The proposed moratorium, to be introduced in the 2027 legislative session, would prohibit new large-scale data center projects in New Mexico, while the state develops a framework for evaluating water use, energy demand and emissions, ratepayer impact, and community benefits related to this industry. Lawmakers intend to couple this push with legislation to close the microgrid loophole and protect the data security of New Mexicans.
