December 2001

The Town of Clayton has taken significant steps to meet the changing needs of Clayton. We are working on all facets of City services, including improving recreation, airport facilities, and infrastructure needs. Some of our ongoing projects include the following:

  Swimming Pool: The city has hired an engineering firm from Raton to look at the feasibility of remodeling the old swimming pool. The pool needs a new plastic liner; pumping system; and mechanics. The firm is currently working on a preliminary design, and hope to have the pool open by Spring 2002.

  Ball Field: Our activities including re-fencing and securing the ball field area with a perimeter fence; completing the construction on the playground equipment; and continuing work on new exhibit building.

Airpark:  We are working on an airport runway expansion program. With this improvement, the airport will be able to accommodate larger planes and we will offer more services.. Additionally, construction will begin in January on a directional beacon.

  These are just a few of many projects and programs underway. I want to thank all of the Town of Clayton residents and community organizations for their commitment and dedication to ensuring a positive quality of life. Because of your help, we are truly making things happen!  Please call our office, (505)374-8331, if you would like more information on these projects.
