Utility improvements for a historic theaterin New Mexico are now on hold as the city ofRaton continues to look for new sources offunding. A National Endowment for the Humanities(NEH) approved a $150,000 grant for theCity of Raton to upgrade the plumbing andelectricity for the century-old ShulerTheater in 2024. That grant, along withthousands of others, have been cancelled bythe Department of Government Efficiency(DOGE). On Tuesday, Project Director for the City ofRaton, Jaden Welch told the ConstructionReporter in an email , “we also lost our NEHChallenge grant while out to bid (DOGEcancelled it), so we are looking into otherfunding opportunities.”Challenge Programs grant recipients arerequired to raise cash contributions fromnonfederal third parties, which is thenmatched by NEH to stimulate additionalsupport from private or public entities.

In December of 2023 the city had awardedthe proposed design contract to Mitchell &Cruse Architecture, who previouslyrenovated the Trinity Hotel in Carlsbad; abuilding that is two decades older than theShuler Theater. In October of 2024, Welch told ConstructionReporter, “our engineer’s estimate for theproject came in over double the fundsavailable for the project.”Welch also said that after invitingcontractors to submit bids on the project bylast Friday, none had submitted. Not short on delays or uncertainty, theproject has since been up in the air and wasstill in search of funding prior to theimplementation of the federal government’s new spending auditor, DOGE. The Built Environment confirmed that over126 different NEH grants had beencancelled by DOGE which is among 15,198grants total. Two similar grants that were cancelled arethe Georgia O’Keeffe Museum ConstructionProject in Santa Fe and the Edward B. GreenBuilding Plumbing Renovations at theToledo Museum of Art in Ohio. As the list is vast, the search options toreview cancelled grants by DOGE are stilllacking.DOGE’s application programming interface(API) which allows different programs tocommunicate with each other, in this case BUILTENVIRONMENT5Copyright: Courtesy of El Raton Media Works

the communication between the database archiving all the cancelled funds and the userinterface allowing inspection of the cancelled funds, is still being developed.Users can only search keywords for cancelled grants within a string of code produced in aJSON file. For instance, when attempting to locate specific NEH projects cancelled by DOGEwith its own API, the largest list is limited to 500 items, which produces grant informationlimited to the Department of State. A major restoration of the theatre was undertaken in the 1960’s, according to the ShulerTheater’s website. What has remained are murals depicting the pre-1920s history of Ratonin the lobby which are said to be the result of a New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairsgrant. Those looking to donate to the preservation of the Shuler Theater can make tax-deductiblecontributions to the Shuler Restoration Commission, Inc. at PO Box 638, Raton, NewMexico, 87740.

BUILTENVIRONMENTIn what is being seen as the largest suchstate appropriation in the country, NewMexico is set to spend upwards of $50million to fund construction of new highwaywildlife crossings.The funding was approved earlier this yearby members of the New Mexico StateLegislature in House Bill 5 and subsequentlysigned into law by Governor Michelle LujanGrisham.NEW MEXICOCROSSINGS EXPECTEDTO PROTECT WIDEVARIETY OF WILDLIFE,INCLUDING GILAMONSTERSBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 06/03/2025Copyright: Canva ProThe legislation is in response to a reportpublished some three years ago called theNew Mexico Wildlife Corridors Action Planwhich pinpointed specific areas in thestate’s roadway system with a highincidence of wildlife and vehicle collisions.It is estimated that there are well over 1,000such collisions in New Mexico on an annualbasis.A wide variety of animals have made it to alist put together by the New MexicoDepartment of Transportation and NewbMexico Department of Game and Fish asthe most vulnerable to being killed by avehicle. That list, with black bears, cougars,badgers, and even Gila monsters, is not onlyextensive, but represents a variety of thestate’s wildlife.The building of the wildlife crossings will CONSTRUCTION NEWSNEW MEXICO29

vary in terms of size. According to earlierreports the crossings may either be under abridge or over it. A project that will see theconstruction of an overpass on U.S. Highway550, is expected to span some 16 miles andbe built in four stages.A portion of that project is currently in adesign phase scheduled for completion bythe end of this year.Moving the runway to the north of itscurrent location and extending it by 3,614feet “will mitigate this issue.”Other recommendations: changing theconfiguration of Taxiway A, which, at 35 feetin width, “does not meet the widthstandards for the design aircraft.” Themaster plan suggests moving Taxiway A tothe site of Runway 8-26 after it’s moved andwidening it to 50 feet.The master plan also addresses an issue thathas long preoccupied both airport and cityofficials: the lack of a “terminal building thatis adequate in size to accommodatepassenger processing for intra- and inter-state air service.”BUILTENVIRONMENT30NEW MASTER PLAN FORGROWING LAS CRUCESAIRPORT ENVISIONSRUNWAY EXTENSIONWORK AND NEWTERMINALBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 05/29/2025A series of infrastructure improvements,including the possible construction of a newpassenger terminal, may be in store for theLas Cruces International Airport, asreflected in the facility’s most recent masterplan.Approved by members of the Las CrucesCity Council, the master plan isrecommending that the airport’s Runway12-30, which has a current length of justover 7,500 feet, should be extended byexactly 3,604 feet.Runways 8-26, 4-22, and 12-30 intersect onthe airfield, forming a triangle. Notes the LasCruces International Master Plan ExecutiveSummary: “This is considered a safety issue,and the Federal Aviation Administrationrecommends decoupling these runways.”Runway 8-26, meanwhile, is “not longenough to meet the critical aircraftrequirements and should be extended.”Image generated using text to image AIA preliminary design for the construction ofa new terminal building capable ofaccommodating 120 enplanements hasbeen completed. The master plan is callingfor a completion of the final design andeventual construction of the facility.Funding for the various projects has not yetbeen specifically identified, but according topublished reports may come via the FederalAviation Administration or capital outlayfunds approved by the New Mexico StateLegislature.The master plan itself was funded through a$270,000 grant from the New Mexico

Department of Transportation.Located at 8990 Zia Boulevard, nearly 10miles to the west of downtown Las Cruces,the airport was originally built during WorldWar II and designed for use as an auxiliarylanding field for Army Air Force bombardiertraining.BUILTENVIRONMENT31AS TEMPERATURES RISE,NEW MEXICO HEAT-RULE CHAMPIONS PUSHBACK AGAINST DELAYBy Danielle Prokop, Tri City Record06/03/2025Environmental and labor advocatesexpressed concerns during a newsconference Monday about the New Mexicoenvironment department’s decision toextend the timeline for a proposed rule toprotect workers from heat-related illnessand injury.The delay comes as forecasts predictanother warmer-than-average summer.NMED cited rising temperatures andincreased heat-related injuries and deathswhen it announced...

University Board of Regents voted toapprove some $6.3 million to fund thedesign of the building.In remarking on the purpose of the billduring a signing ceremony, Roberts said,“We all know that affordable housingcontinues to be a challenge in our state andespecially in our mountain communities,where the cost of living is so much higher.”Roberts particularly noted that a lack ofaffordable housing has negatively impactedworkforce retention, “whether it’s ski areaslike Copper Mountain or our schooldistricts, our hospitals, our law enforcementagencies, and everybody else.”The legislation specifically requiresdevelopers to create new housing that willbe sold at or below 140% of area medianincome.In another effort to attack the affordablehousing challenge, Colorado lawmakers in2023 approved the establishment of theMiddle Income Housing Authority, which isdesigned to promote the building ofaffordable rental housing for middle-incomeworkers.That agency provides funding for thebuilding of rental units between 80% and120% of area median income, whiletargeting 140% of area median income forthe state’s more expensive rural resortareas.BUILTENVIRONMENT36UNIQUE COLORADOBOND PROGRAMOFFERED FOR NEWHOUSINGCONSTRUCTIONBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter06/02/2025In the latest move to increase affordablehome building in Colorado, a bill has beenapproved in the state legislature to providefunding support to developers.As introduced by Democrat State SenatorDylan Roberts, the measure, Senate Bill 6,calls for issuing low-interest bonds to helpspur the construction of affordable housingprojects.According to the language of the legislation,the bill permits the State Treasurer’s Officeto invest up to $50 million in bonds at belowmarket rates to build new housing.Copyright: Canva proCopyright: Canva pro

BUILTENVIRONMENTCONSTRUCTION NEWSNATIONALTariffs on steel and aluminum are risingfrom 25% to 50% due to a new executiveorder signed by President Trump.The official White House tariffannouncement comes in the wake ofcomments made last week by the Presidentin which he said the increases will “furthersecure the steel industry in the UnitedStates.”In remarks made in Pennsylvania, Trumppredicted the likely response to his raisingtariffs on the two materials from America’strade partners: “At 25%, they can sort of getover that fence. At 50%, they can no longerget over that fence.”STEEL AND ALUMINUMTARIFFS DOUBLED INLATEST TRUMP TRADEMOVEBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment06/04/2025Copyright: Canva proThe doubling of the levies on such materialsfollows on a separate Trump proclamationendorsing the merger of U.S. Steel andNippon Steel, an agreement that thePresident said will significantly strengthenthe country’s steel production capacity.While trade analysts have been trying todissect the impact of Trump’s new tariffdecrees, it has been noted that a majority ofthe reciprocal tariffs he announced in earlyApril have since been put on pause in orderto allow time for negotiations. The latesttariff announcement, notes the siteInvestopedia, “could help the steel andaluminum industry, at a cost to the greatereconomy.”That site points to a study conducted byColumbia University showing that increasedsteel and aluminum tariffs imposed byTrump during his first term in 2018“boosted U.S. steel and aluminumproducers, resulting in the addition of 1,000jobs.”At the same time, increased metal pricesnegatively impacted other manufacturersdue to a price increase for engines, sodacans, and a variety of other products.The latest tariff increases, continuesInvestopedia, “throws yet another variableinto Trump’s unpredictable trade wars.”Continues >39

Agrees the publication Financial Times:“Trump’s volatile approach to tariffs—repeatedly announcing new levies beforelater dialing them back—has causedconfusion among companies and led to hugeswings in markets in recent months.”The impact of the increases, meanwhile, hastaken many forms. The Wall Street Journalreports that shares in both Ford andGeneral Motors dropped by about 4% uponTrump’s announcement, noting that “steeland aluminum account for much of theweight of a vehicle and a meaningful shareof its costs.”In the days following that announcement,then-candidate Trump said that during hisfirst term “We saved the steel industry,”before adding: “Now, U.S. Steel is beingbought by Japan. So terrible.”Now as the result of talks between the twocompanies, and a federal review of theproposed merger, Trump has signaled hisapproval of the merger, remarking that apartnership between U.S. Steel and Nippon“will create at least 70,000 jobs and add $14billion dollars to the U.S. economy.”Trump’s remarks came after a review of theproposed acquisition was made in April bythe Committee on Foreign Investment in theUnited States. That body, in late May, gaveits approval to the merger.Although all of the details of the mergerhave not yet been released, it is known thatthe headquarters for U.S. Steel will remainin Pittsburgh and that the company will notlay off any current employees.It has also been reported that Nippon haspledged up to $200 million for thedevelopment of a U.S. Steel research anddevelopment center in Pennsylvania.U.S. Steel mills in Alabama, Arkansas,Indiana, and Minnesota are expected toreceive some $7 billion in upgrades betweennow and next summer.Nippon has additionally said it will spendupwards of $1 billion building a new electricarc furnace, otherwise known as a mini mill,in Pennsylvania.Trump, in lauding the new details of themerger, said the company will also keep allits blast furnaces operating at full capacityfor at least the next decade.Continues >BUILTENVIRONMENT40After months of controversy and vows onthe part of Donald Trump to block it, a dealhas been announced clearing the merger ofU.S. Steel and Nippon Steel.The Tokyo-based Nippon Steel announcedin 2023 that it wanted to buy U.S. Steel for arecord $14.9 billion.
