Santa Fe National Forest seeks input on the Encino Vista Landscape Restoration ProjectSanta Fe, N.M., March 14, 2024— The Santa Fe National Forest will begin accepting comments on March 15, 2024, for the Encino Vista Landscape Restoration Project (EVLRP) preliminary environmental assessment.
The Encino Vista Landscape Restoration Project is an approximately 130,305-acre project located on the Coyote and Cuba Ranger Districts. The proposed EVLRP was developed after the South Fork Wildfire (2010) and the Diego Wildfire (2014) created severe long-term resource damage to watersheds, wildlife habitat, and forested landscapes within the project area. The SFNF recognized the need to create healthier forest systems, based on desired conditions identified in the 2022 SFNF Land Management Plan, and to protect the local communities of Cañones, Coyote, Gallina, and Youngsville in Rio Arriba County from uncharacteristic wildfire events. The project area is also a priority landscape for the Santa Fe National Forest, NMED State Forestry Division and the Rio Chama Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP), and one of the nationally identified Wildfire Crisis Strategy high-risk fire sheds (WCS) covers the western portion of the project area. Proposed project actions are focused on mitigating resource damage by creating a healthy, more resilient forest by reducing stand densities using thinning, reintroducing the natural process of fire to the landscape through prescribed fire, improving and enhancing wildlife habitat through forest and watershed restoration, and managing roads to reduce runoff and watershed damage. The public will have an opportunity to hear more about the project, ask resource specialists questions, and learn how to formally comment on the preliminary environmental assessment at two scheduled open houses. Open House schedule Date: Saturday, March 23, 2024, Time: 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Location: Rural Events Center - Abiquiu, House #122A State Road 554 For information on this project and to learn how to formally comment visit the EVLRP website. For questions about this project call the Coyote Ranger District Office at (575) 638-5526. The legal notice informing the public about the 30-day comment period can be found in the Albuquerque Journal. ### US Forest Service releases environmental assessment for Encino Vista Project in the JemezAgency details plans for expansive Santa Fe National Forest cutting and intentional burning project; comment period to run through April 15th

ESPAÑOLA, N.M. —The Lazy Buffalo Trading Company LLC mobile coffee/food truck started out as a discussion in the family living room. 18-year-old Melissa De La Cruz had been taking business classes as part of her home-schooling curriculum and was very intrigued by the opportunities it presented. “I like the idea of working for myself, of being able to start something and make it grow, having something that’s my own,” Melissa said. With the growing popularity of food trucks redefining the dining experience, Melissa saw a unique niche she could fill in this field: a truck featuring coffee grown by her grandfather, Mario Tovar, in Huila, Columbia. “Columbian coffee has always been my craving. It’s always been my love. I thought, what if he could send beans here? We can roast them, grind them and make coffees,” De La Cruz said. “It’s authentic, it’s delicious, it’s natural coffee. I want to bring something unique to my community. I want to give back something that’s special.” On March 5, 2024, the Lazy Buffalo began selling unique coffee drinks and comfort food at the Center for the Arts parking lot on Northern’s Española campus from 7:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Tuesdays, receiving guidance on business practices and regulations from Julianna Barbee, director of the Northern New Mexico College (NNMC) Small Business Development Center (SBDC). The food truck – which stands out with a bright mural by Santa Fe artist Sebastian Vela – is also at Presbyterian Española Hospital Wednesdays and Thursdays. “Melissa De La Cruz, the innovative mind behind the Lazy Buffalo Coffee Truck, is a young and skilled entrepreneur who has reaped the rewards of a significant collaboration with the college,” said Dr. Denise Montoya, NNMC Vice President for Finance and Administration. “Julianna Barbee has brought invaluable expertise to guide us through the intricacies of launching a new venture that caters specialty food and beverages to students, faculty, staff and the local community. Together, we capitalized on the opportunity to align with one of President Hector Balderas' key priorities: addressing the need for diverse and accessible food options on campus, thereby combating the prevalent food desert in our local area.”
“This exciting opportunity is part of Northern's strategic plan to give students and our community more food choices, while providing opportunities for small businesses to grow and contribute to the local economy,” Balderas said. “There will be more initiatives like this coming to our campuses as we continue to transform the student experience at Northern.” Melissa’s parents, Andrea and Richard De La Cruz, who own the food truck, have guided her in every aspect of the business. “Without the help of my parents, I could have never begun this venture,” Melissa said. “We’ve stayed up countless nights figuring out permit paperwork, startup expenses, they've built contacts, they showed me how to make connections. I am truly blessed to have been raised by a family that taught me how to work for what I have. Their constant support has gotten me to where I am today.” Melissa operates the truck with the help of her 12-year-old sister Mollie, who is an entrepreneur in her own right. It was Mollie who insisted the family should make freeze-dried candy in a large freeze dryer they purchased. The family initially rejected her idea, but when they eventually tested it, they were amazed by how delicious the confections were. Mollie suggested bringing some to elders at their church whose dental issues prevented them from eating candy, and they loved it. Now the freeze-dried candy and ice cream – on sale at the Lazy Buffalo – is Mollie’s own commercial enterprise. The Lazy Buffalo’s coffee and specialty coffee drinks are exceptional, made with pure Columbian coffee grown at high altitude, which has a deliciously complex flavor and more caffeine kick. (Most “Columbian” coffee sold at coffee shops is blended with beans from other countries.) Melissa’s grandfather roasts most of the coffee, but since Columbians prefer a blond roast, Melissa creates her own dark roast. When she sent her grandfather a sample, he told her, “I don’t want you to burn my coffee ever again,” but her local customers appreciate the stronger flavor. Starting a business at any age is daunting, much less at 18, but Melissa received help and many tools for success from Northern’s SBDC. Barbee guided her through setting up operations, marketing, sales and innovation. She is also helping Melissa develop a business plan, which will facilitate reaching her short-term goals of operating the food truck full time (she currently works part-time at the Bureau of Land Management Río Grande Gorge Visitor Center) and expanding the freeze-dried enterprise to sell those products at other businesses. Long-term goals for the De La Cruz family include opening a café and eventually franchising the business into multiple coffee trucks and cafés. “The thought of a coffee shop has always been my dream,” De La Cruz said. “I’d love to fill it with folks and have people studying and people on coffee shop dates, seeing people enjoying the coffee. I would love that more than anything.” “There’s no better way to learn something new than by doing it, and 18-year-old Melissa De La Cruz is doing just that,” Barbee said. “Running this coffee truck business is a real-world entrepreneurial opportunity for Melissa. Our business landscape is ever evolving and in today’s world you can truly be whatever you want to be, as long as you are willing to put in the work. Melissa is an inspiration to other young entrepreneurs. Her determination, passion to learn and genuinely kind respectful way are truly a model to follow.” “SBDC Director Julianna Barbee has gone above and beyond my greatest expectations in assisting us in our business growth,” De La Cruz said. “Since the very first phone call, she has been by our side to aid us in all our questions, inquiries, structuring and concerns. The help she and the SBDC services have provided our business has been completely life changing. We would not be here serving Northern New Mexico today without the help of our business angel Julianna Barbee. The college has also been so encouraging in our start up, from offering advertising and notifying the college community to finding us a good location.” Melissa and Mollie will use their experience at Northern to analyze customer demands on the drinks and food offered, gather feedback and continue to create better processes, but their real joy is developing their relationship with their customers, both at Northern and Presbyterian Hospital. “All students, staff, and faculty have been enthusiastic to support us on campus. Each person who stops by, takes pictures and gives us friendly words does not go unnoticed, we are truly grateful to be here and get to grow and be one within this community,” De La Cruz said. “We are also grateful to the Española Presbyterian Hospital. We appreciate all patients and Hospital staff who have made our dream possible. I simply must thank everyone who has been a part of our journey to be where we are today.” To learn more about how Northern’s Small Business Development Center can help new businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs, go to https://nnmc.edu/home/community-gateway/small-business-development-center-at-northern/.

Broadband Update - Kit CarsonNew tax law provisions open solar tax credit to more New Mexicans EMRD is revising program rules before accepting new applications
SANTA FE, NM – Now that Governor Lujan Grisham has signed omnibus tax package for 2024 into law, the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) is preparing to accept a new wave of applications for its Solar Market Development Tax Credit Program. The 2024 tax omnibus, House Bill 252, contains provisions that make the existing solar tax credit available to more New Mexicans. Those provisions include: • Raising the annual cap on the total amount of credits that can be issued to $30 million per tax year. • Ensuring that tribal members who hold property in leasehold are eligible for the credit. • Making $20 million in tax credits available to individuals whose applications were rejected after the cap was reached in previous years (tax years 2020 through 2023). First enacted in 2020, the Solar Market Development Tax Credit Program offers a tax credit up to 10% on solar system installation costs for qualified solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) systems, up to a maximum of $6,000 per taxpayer per year. Over the past three years, EMNRD was forced to reject hundreds of solar tax credit applications because the previous annual caps were quickly reached. Since the program’s inception, more than 12,000 New Mexicans have received tax credits averaging $3,081.00 per credit. EMNRD estimates these New Mexicans have each saved an average of $1,624.00 per year in energy costs while adding more than 100 MW of distributed solar generation to the state’s power grid. EMNRD staff has started a required process to update the administrative rules for the program, including writing new sections of the rule which apply to the $20 million in credits available for taxpayers who missed out on receiving a credit for solar systems installed between 2020 and 2023. That process will include publishing proposed rules for public comment. Applications are currently being accepted for solar systems installed in 2024 on the EMNRD website. The aggregate cap on credits for the 2024 tax year is now $30 million. “We are thrilled that the Governor and legislature enacted these new provisions to this incredibly popular program,” said Dylan Fuge, Deputy Secretary at EMNRD, which certifies systems for eligibility under the tax program. “We have some groundwork to do before we can begin accepting applications based on these new provisions,” said Rebecca “Puck” Stair, director of EMNRD’s Energy Conservation and Management Division (ECMD). “We are already hard at work on those changes and will let the public know when we are accepting applications for systems installed before 2024.” [March 18, 2024, Española, NM] – The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) approved a resolution at its March 2024 Board meeting to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) to evaluate and create a roadmap for the potential development of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology for public transportation systems in North Central New Mexico.
CTAA’s National Center for Applied Transit Technology (N-CATT) would implement the cooperative study in partnership with the NCRTD, the Santa Fe Trails transit system and Atomic City Transit in Los Alamos. The significant step marks the first such study of its kind in New Mexico to explore innovative AV solutions for public transportation in New Mexico. NCRTD, along with Atomic City Transit and Santa Fe Trails, aims to research and better understand the benefits, implications, risks, and strategies involved in utilizing AV technology to address public transportation challenges. As the national bus operator shortages persist, the agencies seek to explore pilot service options to ensure communities do not suffer from a lack of mobility options. "By partnering with N-CATT and CTAA, we are taking a proactive approach to address the evolving landscape of public transportation," said Anthony Mortillaro NCRTD executive director. "This collaboration will enable us to evaluate and harness the potential of AV technology to enhance transit services and meet the needs of our communities." The MOU includes providing access to data, collaborating on research efforts, and implementing recommendations to ensure the successful evaluation of AV technology. "We are excited to collaborate with NCRTD on this important initiative," said Scott Bogren, Executive Director of CTAA. "Through our partnership, we aim to leverage the expertise of N-CATT to support NCRTD's efforts in exploring autonomous vehicle technology and its potential impact on public transportation." The project is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025, with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement. NCRTD and its partners remain committed to leveraging innovative solutions to address the evolving transportation needs of the region.
