The City of Las Cruces is seeking input on projects, goals, and strategies to revitalize the neighborhoods and corridors between Downtown Las Cruces and New Mexico State University. The El Paseo Road and S. Solano Drive Metropolitan Redevelopment project area represents a pivotal opportunity to transform this section of the city into a thriving pedestrian-friendly area with renewed focus on sustainable development and equitable growth.

The goals extend beyond revitalizing commercial and retail areas and encompass a holistic approach to urban renewal that prioritizes infrastructure improvement, environmental sustainability, social equity, historic preservation and public safety and health.

We want to hear from you. What projects and programs would be most transformative for the MRA? Please complete a five-minute survey to let us know your thoughts. The survey will be open until Friday, January 10, 2025. Please click on the links below to take the survey in English or Spanish.
