Rio Grande Agriculture and Nutrition Student Interns Help Out At Dolores Huerta Gateway Park

Rio Grande Agriculture and Nutrition student interns help out lighting luminarias at the Dolores Huerta Gateway Park ribbon-cutting ceremony and holiday celebration!

On December 14th, seven Agriculture and Nutrition student interns from Rio Grande gathered at the Dolores Huerta Gateway Park to assemble and light luminarias for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony and holiday celebration. The event marked the grand re-opening of the park, a significant milestone in community revitalization.

The redesign of the Dolores Huerta Gateway Park is the result of a collaborative effort between local residents, state governments, and a variety of partners. From community-driven vision and strategic planning to securing funding and overseeing construction, this project is a prime example of a community-led initiative that brought people together to rebuild and strengthen their neighborhoods.

The successful completion of the park is a testament to the power of partnerships and the importance of working together to create spaces that benefit all members of the community. The grand re-opening of the park provides a beautiful, welcoming environment for residents and visitors to enjoy for years to come.
