Ty's Take

Water, boats, and neighbors showing up for each other—that's the real news around here. The airport water line didn't happen, which is fine, but the fact that somebody thought it might tells you something about where the economic dreams sit versus where the actual infrastructure needs live. Meanwhile, down at Elephant Butte, the boat ramp's back in business, which matters more than outsiders think because that lake is both our lifeline and our playground, and when either one works right, this whole county breathes easier. Then you've got folks opening a community box for people who need a hand, which is just what happens here when times get tight and neighbors notice. That's the real spine of this place.

Water line out to the airport? Nah.

A Sierra County resident expressed concern that the city might extend water service to the airport and drill a new well in that area. Such a project would add financial strain to residents already dealing with costly repairs from years of deferred maintenance on the water system.

Ty's Take The airport water line question keeps coming back around, doesn't it? Every few years somebody floats the idea of running infrastructure out to Spaceport America, and every few years the math doesn't work or the money isn't there or both.
