The Grant County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) has introduced a new Community Feedback Portal aimed at providing residents with a simple and accessible way to share their experiences and feedback regarding interactions with sheriff’s office deputies. Community members can submit comments by scanning a QR code displayed on informational flyers throughout Grant County. The initiative is intended to strengthen communication, recognize exemplary service, and address concerns early before they develop into larger issues.
The Town of Silver City announced that The Haven Winter Center, which had been operating at the former Silver City Recreation Center, has closed due to insufficient staffing and a lack of sustainable funding required to maintain safe operations. The Town will explore options to upgrade the building’s infrastructure; however, at this time, there is no alternative but to suspend operations until funding can be secured for adequate staffing, necessary renovations, and volunteer support. The Town of Silver City plans to continue working with local nonprofits, service providers, and regional partners to identify alternative resources and long-term solutions.
