Presentation on processing plant
The directors of the Taos
County Economic Develop-
ment Corporation visited
Warm Springs in August.
Corporation directors
Terrie Bad Hand and Pati
Martinson met with Tribal
Council, and discussed the
corporation’s community
food programs.
The Taos Food Center
supports the local food grow-
ers, and the Native culture
of Northern New Mexico.
The food center has equip-
ment that the local produc-
ers use to give added value
to their products.
The center helps support
several families and their
small businesses. The support
services for the businesses in-
clude specialized training,
product development, pH
testing, assistance with regu-
latory compliance, and coop-
erative marketing assistance.
The Taos Food Center was
funded through grants and
loans. The area being served
has high unemployment, and
the food center has helped
alleviate some of the eco-
nomic hardship.
The Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs could use
the Taos center as a model
for one on the reservation.
Bruce Jim and others have
been studying the idea for
some time now. Obtaining the
necessary planning and start-
up funding is the challenge
facing the advocates of the
Warm Springs food center.
Infrastructure report suggests improvements
A recent report on the
state of the reservation in-
frastructure makes some im-
portant observations. The re-
port looks at roads, water and
waste water, communications
and power, and solid waste
disposal.
The drinking water system
is the single biggest infra-
structure concern for the
tribes, according to the re-
port, called the Stratgeic In-
frastructure Improvement
Plan.
But there are other issues
as well. For instance, regard-
ing the wastewater system at
the industrial park:
“The industrial park is at
capacity, and further devel-
opment will require that the
area be served by the Warm
Springs collection system.
“It is proposed that the
industrial area be connected
to the treatment plant as soon
as possible, and that the Up-
per Dry Creek and Sunnyside
housing areas also be con-
nected over the long term.”
New business at the indus-
trial park is a goal of the tribal
leadership. But the wastewa-
ter situation there would have
to be addressed before any
significant new development
could happen, according to
the report.
Other comments in the
report: The landfill site is in
legal compliance, and the
communications system is
seeing dramatic improve-
ment. Roadways on the res-
ervation could see $38 mil-
lion in improvements over
the next 20 years.
Tribal planner Lonny
Macy presented the report
last month to Tribal Council.
