City Hall

Have you ever wondered how the City determines which roads will be repaired or how Senior Nutrition meals are prepared? If you’re interested in understanding how various City departments operate individually, we have a 12-week program for you with no commitment to attend every session.

The City of Las Cruces invites residents to attend the “Know your City” program. It will begin Wednesday, September 3, and run each Wednesday until November 12, 2025. The program will conclude on Monday November 17, 2025, with a graduation brunch and recognition at the City Council Meeting.

Each Wednesday session takes place from 6-8 p.m. at Las Cruces City Hall Council Chambers, 700 N. Main Street, except for Session 8*, which will take place at the Las Cruces Utilities building, 680 N. Motel Boulevard.

There is no need to register for this free program. Please attend any and all sessions you are interested in. If you do attend all sessions, you will receive City Council recognition.
