Catron County Fair Building Nears Completion

By Richard Torres
RESERVE – The Catron County Emergency Management facility/fair building is nearing completion. Situated at the Catron County Fairgrounds in Reserve, the 6,000-square-foot building will eventually be used as headquarters for any emergency in the county. It also will be used for county fair activities.
The Catron County clinic expansion is almost completed. The building will house much-needed office space and treatment rooms.
The Catron County Board of Commissioners has appointed Zina Day-McGuire as the Catron County Fire Marshal, effective July 1, for a two-year term. Her duties include acting as supervisor for Catron County fire district chiefs, serving as liaison to the Catron County Volunteer fire districts, insuring compliance with federal, state and other codes, ordinances, procedures and procurement policy provisions.
Jeremiah Herrera, project supervisor with the New Mexico Department of Transportation, said bridge construction in Reserve is on schedule. Herrera said current work involves pier piling adjustments. The project is scheduled for completion in late fall.
The Catron County DWI Program and Los J.O.V.E.N.E.S. have moved into the new multi-purpose building in Reserve.
“We are so happy to be here,” said Dorothy Laney, DWI coordinator.
The Youth Conservation Corps has completed landscaping outside the building.
“Our computers, TVs and game consoles are operational, and we encourage kids to come,” said Laney.
