GRANTS, N.M. (KRQE) – Clean-up efforts are continuing in Grants following recent flash floods there. Last Friday, heavy rains forced emergency evacuations for multiple counties with populated areas being Las Vegas, Grants, and the Bloomfield areas.
The City of Grants heard from multiple business owners about what the next steps are in terms of rebuilding and future safety concerns. “My concern is if there is more rain, what’s going to happen because there is no ditch back there? What are we going to do to stop the next one?” said Grants business owner Lisa Raines.
Sandbags were given out on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of forecasted rain.
