This week, Crooked Forest Institute achieved one of its strategic objectives by completing the purchase of 52 acres of land for the location of its education campus in Grant County. The land is located on Rt 35 in the Mimbres Valley, east of Silver City, New Mexico. The northeastern corner of the property is located across Rt 35 from the Mimbres Valley transfer station. The land purchase was made possible by a generous grant from the Tides Foundation.
The land is currently fenced, but otherwise undeveloped, and has no well or electric on site. Crooked Forest Institute will begin a process of engaging the community to hear what kind of development would be welcome, and what would not be welcome, before starting any projects.
