The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission's open house held at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, had already attracted 60 individuals when it still had almost two hours to go.
The survey on the statewide rate planning process and its decisions will impact every user of water, whether you own a farm, a garden, or simply use water to drink, cook with or bathe in. If you missed the in-person open house, the survey is available online [link below], with a deadline for Aug. 18, for everyone in the state to participate and give their feedback.
The purpose of the open house was to educate attendees and get their input on the water planning process going on at the state level.

By Allie Miller, 2024 Grant County 4-H Council Reporter, 16 years old.
The State 4-H Conference is an event where each Senior member of the youth in 4-H from each county around the state of New Mexico is given a chance to compete against others in various presentation and judging competitions. They compete as county teams and as individuals. Not only are they given the chance to compete, but each night they spend at the conference, they are given the chance to socialize and also unwind from the long and eventful days they spend there. This year, the 2024 State 4-H Conference was held July 8th - July 11th in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Eleven of our youth participated in judging contests, along with other 4-H youth from around the state of New Mexico.
Grant County did extremely well this year.
