Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

Ask the News - Dec. 22

What is being built in the 800 block of Schepps Boulevard, across from the Civic Center? Is Clovis finally getting a Target?

No, it’s not quite big enough for that kind of retail space.

“It’s a barndominium. You’ve heard of a condominium? This is a barndominium,” City Clerk Leighann Melancon said Wednesday.

Melancon said the construction combines elements of a home and a barn.

According to an article on barndominiums on the company website for TruLog Siding, the structures are cheaper to build than traditional residences, “with a cost coming in at about $30 to $40 per square foot compared to $100 to $200 per square foot for traditional housing.”
