County secures Colonias Infrastructure awards and design funding for drainage projects
Summary
Lincoln County adopted Colonias Infrastructure awards and design grants for drainage work, including a $2.65M grant for Warrior Drive reconstruction (100% grant) and a $205,000 design grant for Alamo Canyon Road (10% county match required).
The Commission adopted resolutions to accept Colonias Infrastructure funding for critical drainage and design work. Jeff Honeycutt detailed a $2.65 million, 100% grant award for Warrior Drive replacement of an undersized 48–52 inch pipe with a 25-foot arch pipe; the county will maintain project management and procurement control despite beneficiary overlap with Ruidoso Downs residents under a HUD-recognized colonia designation.
Honeycutt also described a $205,000 design grant for Alamo Canyon Road to conduct watershed analysis across a nine-mile stretch that has suffered severe flooding historically; the project requires a 10% county match (about $20,455). Commissioners adopted the resolutions and noted the Colonias funding allowed fully financed construction or design work without county loan obligations in these cases.
