SILVER CITY, N.M. (AP) - The town of Silver City is getting a loan from the state Environment Department to clean up asbestos at an old hospital building.

The 342-thousand-dollar loan was approved earlier this month through a revolving cleanup fund.

That fund lets the department provide low-interest loans to public, nonprofit and private entities for environmental cleanup.

It’s the first time the Environment Department has issued such a loan.

Silver City’s former Hillcrest Hospital is contaminated by materials that contain asbestos.

It’s also contaminated with lead-based paint and pigeon droppings that have accumulated since the hospital moved 25 years ago.

Client Testimonial

To Whom It May Concern:

I lost my husband to mesothelioma. At the time I was devastated! I found myself without any real support or assistance. It was my good fortune, however, that my husband's former co-worker referred me to the Law Offices of Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason

Not only did I find them unsurpassed in the area of law as it pertained to my case, but I will never forget the compassion and caring of Jack Clapper and every member of his staff that was extended to me at a time when I needed it most. The attention and assistance they gave me was what I sorely needed. I always had the assurance that my well-being was a high priority with them, and they lived up to my high expectations.

Words cannot express my high regard for this firm. Despite the intervening years, I continue to regard them as friends, and I cannot say enough in praise of how they persevered on my behalf.

If ever anyone needed the assistance of a dedicated and committed law firm, they could never find anyone of higher integrity and greater dedication. I'm so thankful these wonderful people were there for me!

Respectfully,
