State Lands Available for Open Space Develpment?

At a recent Torrance County Commission meeting there was mention of the potential to develop state lands into open space and/or possibly parks.  Mike Anaya was to be invited to present information regarding funding opportunities to the Torrance County Commission at a future meeting.

Those who lease and use state lands for grazing may want to seek additional information regarding conversion of leased lands into open space.

Edgewood Open Space Public Input Meeting

 Santa Fe, NM- June 8, 2011 - Santa Fe County will be hosting a public meeting on Wednesday, June 15 at 5 p.m. at the Edgewood Fire Station, 25 E Frontage Road to present the preliminary design for the 30 acres of County Open Space in Edgewood. The 30 acres of County open space is located adjacent to the Wildlife West along the I-40 frontage road.

Santa Fe County purchased this property in September 2000 as part of the open space and trails inventory. After reviewing a draft conceptual plan from the Town of Edgewood, the Open Space and Trails program has contracted Surroundings Studio to complete a design for an equestrian rest stop, trail head parking and picnic area.

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting, see what is planned for the Edgewood Open Space, and provide feedback.
