05According to Barney, the county purchasedthe three-quarters of an acre, commerciallyzoned, lot for $346,000.The Built Environment reported that thecounty approved $400,000 of AmericanRescue Plan Act funds to purchase the lotfor the purpose of public health and safetyin May of 2024. That difference in federal dollars, saidBarney, is going to TriWest Fence toconstruct the eight-foot-tall security fencingaround the perimeter with two access gates. “But that’s not even going to cover thewhole fencing project. So, we have another$200,000 in capital outlay thanks to MimiStewart and then we have another couplehundred thousand dollars of open space milllevy,” said Barney in an interview with TheBuilt Environment. A site development plan based offcommunity input gathered at the on-sitecelebration is being used by theAlbuquerque-based landscape design firm,Groundwork Studio.Input from the community called forfeatures such as a gazebo, food stands ormarket area, a play space for incorporatingchildren, raised beds and infrastructure. County officials said that urban agriculturalsites support the mental and physical healthof the surrounding community. “Pretty soon, this site will feature a shadedoutdoor classroom, demo gardens and allnew infrastructure so that we can bringthose benefits here, to the heart of theInternational District,” said BernalilloCounty Commissioner for district three,Adrian Barboa. Barboa’s district is now home to thecounty’s next urban agricultural site, whichaccording to Barboa was inspired by theVictory Gardens of World War II. The International District, according to thenow defunct BCC Urban Ag Project’swebsite, was transformed by the populationboom following World War II; from a fewhomesteads into an area that now has thedensest population in the state of NewMexico. “This project draws inspiration from thathistory; reminding us of the power ofcommunity and the importance of self-sufficiency,” said Barboa.

Planning is moving forward on a substantialproject in Las Vegas, New Mexico that willsee the building of a new central watertreatment facility.Two years ago, what is now classified as thelargest and most destructive wildfire in thehistory of New Mexico - the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire - swept through largeswaths of San Miguel, Mora, and Taoscounties, scorching more than 341,000acres.The fire, which started after a prescribedburn at the Pecos/Las Vegas Ranger Districtgot out of control, eventually destroyedaround 900 structures, nearly a quarter ofwhich were homes.Such large fires typically create a multitudeof natural habitat and built infrastructureissues, which in the case of Las Vegas meanttons of debris floating down the GallinasRiver and polluting the city’s reservoirs.FUNDING FROMWASHINGTON SECUREDFOR LONG-AWAITEDLAS VEGAS WATERTREATMENT FACILITYPROJECTBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 08/29/2024Copyright: Canva proThe impact to the Galinas, in fact, promptedthe Washington-based group AmericanRivers last summer to classify it as one ofthe nation’s “most endangered rivers.” TheCity, for its part, imposed Stage 5 waterrestrictions during a time when it was downto a supply of only 17 days of remainingwater.Now Las Vegas has secured around $98million in federal funds to replace waterfacilities that were inundated by the floodsand debris flow.The funding, according to a City newsrelease, will not only support theconstruction of new water infrastructure,but also a “comprehensive reassessment ofemergency response protocols, floodmanagement systems, and communityresilience measures.”The new funding, coming through theFederal Emergency Management Agency,comes on top of another $2.6 million fromthe agency granted in early 2023 to pay forneeded engineering reports related to thewater facilities project.An exact timeline of when work will launchon the project has not been released, but itis expected that the planning phase will takeat least a year, with a 23-month designphase to follow.Actual construction may take as long as 3years.27BUILTENVIRONMENT

The exact plans for the structure,however, remain unclear. Founded in Denver in 1901, RussellStover Candies, specializing in avariety of chocolate andconfectionary treats, waspurchased by Swiss chocolatemaker Lindt and Sprüngli in 2014for $1.6 billion.That purchase made the Swisscompany the third largestchocolate maker in the country,even though the Hershey Companyand Mars Incorporated continue todominate the $119 billion market.

In an effort to geographically expand itsofferings, Northland Pioneer College, whichis based in Holbrook, Arizona, is working onplans to build new facilities in Kayenta,some 173 miles to the north.The school, which serves a student baselocated in Navajo and Apache counties,operates several campuses in a roughly21,000-mile northern Arizona service area.The new building plans for Kayenta aredesigned to provide additional highereducation classroom space in a town ofaround 4,700 people.Those plans will see the construction of twostructures in a growing industrial park nearthe Kayenta Indian Health Service facility,which is located at 394.3 U.S. Route 160,otherwise known as the Navajo Trail.NORTHLAND PIONEERCOLLEGE GETSSIGNIFICANT STATEFUNDING TO BUILD NEWFACILITIESBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 09/03/2024Copyright: Canva proAs anticipated, the project will see theconstruction of one building which willhouse classroom and lab space, and asecond structure to serve as the new libraryfor the town of Kayenta.In a statement, Richard Chanick, theschool’s head of workforce and economicdevelopment, said the project is the result ofa spirit of cooperation between NorthlandPioneer College and the Town of Kayenta.“We believe this type of collaborationensures the long-term success of theproject,” remarked Chanick. “This projectwould not be possible without theirsupport.”Funding for the project has taken asignificant step forward with the awardingof a nearly $9 million grant from the ArizonaCommerce Authority. That funding iscoming in the form of an EconomicResources Transition Grant.An exact timetable for when work on thetwo new buildings will begin has not yetbeen announced. But earlier press accountshave reported that the facilities areexpected to be completed by the spring of2027.Founded in 1974, Northland PioneerCollege has an enrollment of around 6,700students, up from the roughly 1,000 itstarted out with during its first semester.Near the end of its first year, the ArizonaDaily Sun noted that the college’s philosophywas to provide leaning “where people live.”That meant providing programs in suchdiverse fields as auto mechanics, welding,and emergency medical training via a seriesof mobile labs.31BUILTENVIRONMENT

In a move to make electric vehicle chargingstations more available throughout Arizona,the state’s Department of Transportationhas announced a project that will see theconstruction of 18 such facilities.The project, according to Jennifer Toth,ADOT director, is designed to put in place a“network of reliable and convenientcharging stations that the public can counton.”One of the inspirations behind the project isan effort to reduce what Toth referenced as“range anxiety.”Such anxiety, first mentioned in the SanDiego Business Journal in 1997, centers onthe fears of drivers on rural roads who feelthat their vehicle may not have enoughbattery capacity or fuel to make it to thenext city.Range anxiety is thought to be the mostprevalent when driving on throughways inthe desert West.To lessen the incidence of no electriccharging stations in any section of Arizona,the new station construction effort will seefacilities built along Interstate 10, whichruns east to west across the southern partof the state; and Interstate 8, between CasaGrande and Yuma.MITIGATING RANGEANXIETY: ARIZONADEPARTMENT OFTRANSPORTATIONANNOUNCES PLANS TOBUILD 18 NEWCHARGING STATIONSBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 08/30/2024Copyright: Canva proStation construction is planned offInterstate 40, which cuts east to westthrough the middle of the state; as well asInterstate 17, which heads north to southfrom Flagstaff to Phoenix.Interstate 19, connecting Tucson with theNogales at the southern end of the state,will also see new charging station work.As planned, the new stations will be spacedno more than 50 miles apart.Most of the funding to build the facilities iscoming through the National ElectricVehicle Infrastructure program, under theauspices of the Federal HighwayAdministration.Officials with the ADOT have indicated thatplans are currently in the talking stage forthe construction of additional chargingstations that would likely go up statehighways and roads in the next two years.32BUILTENVIRONMENT

That announcementwas celebrated by officials with bothcompanies, as well as economic analysts,who said the purchase/merger would keepthe legendary Pittsburgh-based company inbusiness.But the plan has since been met with thestern resistance of any number of U.S. publicofficials, starting with former PresidentDonald Trump, who earlier this year saidthat if he is returned to the White House hewould block the deal “instantaneously.”“We saved the steel industry,” Trump saidafter meeting with Teamsters presidentSean O’Brien. “Now, U.S. Steel is beingbought by Japan.

Add to those critical of the deal: DemocratPresidential Nominee Kamala Harris.Speaking in Pittsburgh, Harris said U.S. Steel"should remain American-owned andAmerican-operated," adding that it is "vital forour nation to maintain strong American steelcompanies."The move has been equally condemned byPresident Biden, Republican Vice PresidentialNominee J.D. Vance, and PennsylvaniaDemocrat Senator John Fetterman.Despite the bipartisan blowback, U.S. Steelhas said it remains determined to proceedwith the transaction. In a statement sent tothe publication The Hill, the company said theNippon Steel acquisition is the “best deal forour employees, shareholders, communities,and customers.”The statement added that the purchase will“strengthen the American steel industry,American jobs, and American supply chains,”while also enhancing the domestic steelindustry’s “competitiveness and resilienceagainst China.”Founded in 1901 by the legendary financierand banker J.P. Morgan, U.S. Steel for decadeshas been an industry behemoth, often calledthe backbone of the nation’s economy. Although the company recorded revenues inexcess of $18 billion last year, its productivecapacity has declined from around 65% of allthe steel manufactured in the U.S. a centuryago, to just 12% today.In a joint statement, U.S. Steel and Nipponsaid they expected the transaction to befinalized by the end of this year, “subject tothe fulfillment of the remaining customerclosing conditions, including the receipt ofrequired U.S. regulatory approvals.”36BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva pro
