Taos Plans Growth as Land Annexation Sails Through Council
Taos moves to grow by 10 to 15 acres with a planned annexation west of the old fish hatchery and south of Ranchitos Road. The Salazar landowners petitioned for inclusion for possible federally funded low income homes, with the council approving only after a condition that the site be selected for such homes and a corrected petition was filed. Memorial Day business closures were urged as a strong suggestion, not a mandate, while a new trash-dump control system grants receipts for 25 to 50 cent fees to curb littering. The council also supported continued courtesy parking tickets, approved a $5,000 Fire Protection Fund grant, and listed local births and dismissals along with admissions and diplomas for May.
