| CCSD Trustee, Chris Garvey was awarded a plaque by PIC and a Congressional Certificate from Congresswoman Dina Titus’ office for her contribution to the project. Garvey stated that the district wants to continue doing similar projects “where we get a direct benefit back to the community.” She further stated that it was a cultural change to clean up the CCSD property out here the way that it was done. In the past, CCSD cleared the land, paved the property, and put a chain link fence around it.
CCSD has plans to fence the property with an agricultural fence and use it as grazing land for the MVHS Ag farm cattle. |
