More than $14.5 million in State of New Mexico funding has been approved for a long-awaited gas pipeline project in Taos County. That funding is coming in the form of a capital outlay approved by members of the New Mexico State legislature earlier this year and since signed into law by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. The gas pipeline funding is part of an overall $32.3 million in capital outlay support secured this year by Taos County for a variety of facility construction and upgrade projects. As planned, the pipeline will extend from the town of Dixon with a population of around 900 people, heading in a southwestern 13-mile direction through the Picuris Pueblo, with a population of less than 300, and into the town of Penasco, called home by around 1,200 people. Known as the “Dixon-to-Penasco Loop 1” pipeline, the project will be built under the auspices of the New Mexico Department of Transportation, following the general route of State Road 75. A construction schedule for the project has not yet been announced. By Garry Boulard
