The Town of Silver City Council will hold a regular council meeting today, May 12, at 6 p.m. at the Grant County Administration Center. The meeting agenda includes the manager’s report, committee reports, and consideration of Resolution 2026-16, which would authorize the filing of an application and related documents for funding assistance through the New Mexico Finance Authority Water Project Fund. The resolution seeks technical assistance funding to support professional services and legal fees associated with the town’s water and wastewater systems.
The Silver City Gospel Mission is celebrating an outpouring of community generosity after receiving nearly 3,000 pounds of donated food through the recent Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. The donations, collected and delivered by the United States Postal Service, will help support individuals and families in need throughout the Silver City area. The success of the food drive is due to the strong support and compassion shown by local residents who contributed to the annual community effort.
