The Village of Santa Clara has been actively working to enhance its appearance and infrastructure. Recent efforts include the installation of new sidewalks, surfaces, curbs, and gutters along Caddel Crossing. Additionally, landscaping will be introduced along Fort Bayard Street, complementing the newly constructed sidewalks. Work on the Bradley Hotel building is also underway, with winterization and stabilization processes in progress, including the repair of the plaster. With the support of additional grant funding, further street improvements will be implemented throughout the Village. Furthermore, a Clean and Beautiful grant is being pursued to fund a comprehensive village-wide clean-up, focusing on the removal of branches and overgrown bushes.
Luna County is advancing its commitment to sustainability through a partnership with Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation. This collaboration marks the county’s first initiative to deploy onsite solar power as part of its broader sustainability and energy efficiency goals. The partnership aims to transform the county’s energy infrastructure, with the first phase focusing on the installation of solar panels at the Detention Center and Starmax Entertainment Center. Additionally, energy-efficient LED lighting will be implemented across multiple county facilities. Construction began last month, and the project is expected to be completed by June 2026.
