From Paa-Ko Resident Kathy Freas regarding the proposed major Campbell Ranch Development across from Paa-Ko:

The outdated 2002 CFC’s CRMP, which more than 200 of us spoke against in 2021, remains in effect. The elements of that plan, including Villages 2-4, 2 golf courses, about 4,000 housing units, and commercial development continue to guide development on CFC property. http://www.edgewood-nm.gov/transparency/

Adverse impacts to Paa Ko Communities are significant. The subdivision application lacks provision for fire, police and other services, includes no proven water supply and wastewater management, and would result in noise, traffic congestion, increased crime, increased chance of wildfire, severe impacts to our viewshed and overall loss of home values, among other impacts.

There are two upcoming meetings to attend:
November 12 Town Commission meeting, attend and comment
November 21 Public Hearing, attend, comment
Submit written comments at the November 12 meeting
Submit written comments for the Public Hearing by November 18
The Town Commission meeting and Public Hearing are at 6:00pm, Town Hall of Edgewood Commission Chambers,
171A State Rd. 344.  

Meeting agendas must be posted 3 days prior to the meeting or Public Hearing.
They should be available at   Town of Edgewood - Meeting Type List

Paa-Ko Residential Chipping Project

Our third grant-funded chipping event will take place on Saturday, November 16th (weather permitting). In this project segment, we will move south along Paa-Ko Drive (& side streets) from the Chaco Loop area to our southern entrance. We will also go up Canyon Ridge and chip material stacked on all its feeder streets.

Please cautiously drive past our chipping crew and their equipment which may be partially in the street. Also, please do not offer to assist as this is extremely dangerous machinery.

Sadly, historically we have found only 1-in-4 residents and lot owners participate in this unique opportunity to trim overgrowth and remove dead material from their properties. We’re hoping homeowners in the oldest part of Paa-Ko take the initiative to reduce forest fuel which endangers the entire development. 

If you have questions, call Jim Kelley 505/239-8552.
