NWNMCOG Brownfields Program
In May 2009, the COG received $1,000,000 in “American Reinvestment & Recovery Act" (ARRA) stimulus funding for the region to implement a Brownfields Assessment Program and ramp up site assessments in Cibola, McKinley, and San Juan counties.
The COG and its Coalition partners are actively soliciting and accepting sites for the program.
Call us to consult on a possible site or submit a Property Approval Form and we'll do the rest.
In many cases, the land and/or property may be perceived as contaminated and this perception may keep it from being used productively. The Assessment program, initiated by the Northwest NM Council of Governments, was designed to be a start in putting Brownfield sites back into productive use

McKinley County Energy Efficiency ProjectThe Northwest New Mexico Council of Governments has been assisting Energy Control Inc. on implementing an Energy Performance Services Contract for McKinley County. The contract is framed around constructing a series of facility improvement projects based on proactive energy management. The improvements consisted of Condensing Boilers, LED Streetlights, Chiller Efficiency, Exterior Lighting Upgrades, Occupancy Sensors, Advanced Automation & Control, Energy Recovery Ventilator, and others. The project, including several other installations will be finalized in the coming months. McKinley County strives to reduce energy use and save money on utilities of all county facilities through proactive management and improvements. Looking at the data from the first three months (June - August 2015), the McKinley County Courthouse and Adult Detention Center have experienced major energy savings with additional improvements to be made in the future.
