This past year, the Gila Resources Information Project (GRIP) recruited 337 volunteers who contributed 500 volunteer hours and collected over 8,859 pounds of trash, debris and recyclables from Silver City’s roads and waterways. They also planted over 1,068 native trees and shrubs along the San Vicente Creek. Along with the partnership between the Town of Silver City and Pick It Up-Toss No Mas, the Gila Resources Information Project has encouraged residents to take pride in the community and has helped keep Silver City clean and beautiful.
In Lordsburg News:
During the Lordsburg Public Input meeting that took place last week, community members gave their input on opinions about Lordsburg’s future. The meeting gave citizens the opportunity to share ideas with the Lordsburg Economic Advancement project as well as the City of Lordsburg’s Economic Development Specialist. The city is now working on revising the City of Lordsburg’s Comprehensive Plan and will be taking the information and ideas shared by community members to incorporate into the plan, which will be used to guide future development projects.
