Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

County schedules wildfire meetings

Staff report

Curry County has scheduled a pair of public input meetings at the Clovis-Carver Public Library to update the New Mexico Association of Counties’ wildfire risk reduction program for rural communities.

The meetings are set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the library’s Ingram Room and at 5:30 p.m. April 12 at the library’s North Annex.

The county, one of 11 grant recipients, received $17,000. The program, part of a partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, offers seed money for a wildfire protection plan, fuel reduction treatments and outreach and education.

If you cannot attend either meeting, public comments may be sent to County Manager Lance Pyle:
