Letter to the editor – July 24

Involved about cash spent on capturing vary undertaking

This letter is in reference to your newspaper article from Sept. 29 regarding Metropolis Supervisor Justin Howalt exhibiting the progress of the Clovis Capturing Ranges at Ned Houk Park.

His anticipated opening date of the $3.7 million capturing complicated was imagined to be within the subsequent month or so and undoubtedly earlier than the tip of 2021. This capturing facility was marketed and constructed to be a “cutting-edge” complicated for japanese New Mexico and surrounding areas. It was promoted to be a profit for the youth capturing groups of this space.

Shifting ahead to final week, the power sits vacant, overgrown with weeds, and lined up with trash. The town of Clovis and New Mexico Division of Recreation and Fish have proven no exercise towards getting the power open to the general public, for which it was designed and constructed over a yr in the past.

Myself, as a taxpayer in Curry County for over 50 years, am very involved concerning the cash spent and what the longer term holds for this $3.7 million facility.

My query is, how and when is the town going to maneuver ahead with this undertaking. Tax paying residents must know. Additionally, the youth it was designed for had been promised a spot for his or her capturing groups to follow and shoot competitively. Right now, it’s unknown when and if it will ever occur.
