Army Seeks Community Input on Piñon Canyon Training Expansion

The U.S. Army began local outreach this month to gather feedback on proposed changes at the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, including expanded restricted airspace and increased training days, that could affect daily life across Las Animas County. The proposals carry environmental and cultural implications, and residents have until Jan. 13, 2026 to submit public comments as the Army completes an environmental review under federal law.
