Northern Rio Grande Heritage Area Act Fails in Senate
The proposed act would have named Taos, Rio Arriba, and Santa Fe counties as a National Heritage Area with federal funds to boost tourism. It envisioned a nonprofit board of 10 to 25 members from state, counties, tribes, and cities to develop a management plan. Support came from Espafiala and Santa Fe, local counties, and regional groups, joining a few Western heritage areas already in Arizona and Colorado.

Mixed reception at Ojo Caliente landfill information meeting
Residents nearly evenly split over a regional landfill five miles south of Ojo Caliente. The proposal, led by North Central Solid Waste Authority, would process 90 tons daily for 40,800 residents across four communities, with a 100 year plan and environmental safeguards amid land grant concerns. Public comment runs to Sept 2003 with a final decision due June 2004.
