## Resource

The Taos County slaughterhouse project, long plagued by delays and bureaucratic hurdles, takes another hit as director Lucas Salazar—once a rancher and meat business owner—steps away amid conflicting reports of resignation or termination. His departure comes as the facility struggles with permit issues, tangled land ownership between town and county, and unrealistic opening timelines. Salazar pushed for part-time work due to the project’s sluggish pace, but claims he was let go; the corporation insists departures were voluntary. He’s now appealing a denied unemployment claim, while hinting he may return once operations near reality. The project’s future hangs in the balance, with hopes pinned on steady leadership when the doors finally open. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
