Las Cruces Strategic Plan: Community Input Phase Begins

The City of Las Cruces released its Strategic Plan Needs Assessment, marking the end of the first phase in updating the city's municipal priorities.

Consulting firm Single Space Strategies compiled the assessment, which analyzed current conditions, leadership interviews, existing city plans, and economic data. Mayor Eric Enriquez and the City Council received the report. Residents can access the full assessment at LasCruces.Gov/StrategicPlan.

"This report gives us a clear, shared understanding of where we are today and the opportunities and challenges ahead," Enriquez said.

The city will hold six public meetings for residents to share priorities. The meetings are scheduled at:

Frank O'Brien Papen Center auditorium, 304 Bell Avenue — July 29, 2:30–5:30 p.m.
