Alamogordo chosen to host New Mexico MainStreet conference; Hubbard Bridge ribbon-cutting planned
Summary
City staff told the March 11 Alamogordo City Commission that Alamogordo was chosen to host the New Mexico MainStreet conference this fall and that Hubbard Bridge is expected to be complete in mid-April with a neighborhood ribbon-cutting.
City staff told the Alamogordo City Commission on March 11 that the city has been selected to host the New Mexico MainStreet conference this fall, citing the city’s collaborative capital-outlay project with MainStreet as the reason for selection.
"The city of Alamogordo was selected to host that conference," a city staff member said, adding that planning is underway with MainStreet on logistics and partnership roles.
The staff member also reported that work on Hubbard Bridge is expected to be completed in mid-April and that the city plans a neighborhood ribbon-cutting and barbecue to thank nearby residents for their patience. "That's going to be about mid April. You all get invited to that," the staff member said.
Separately, staff said work on zoo infrastructure began the day before the meeting. The staff member also noted an internal personnel update: a city employee named Ashley was being sworn in to the Wyoming bar and is expected to leave the city in May.
The commission approved the meeting's consent agenda 6-0 earlier in the session. No members of the public signed up for public comment at the meeting.
Why this matters: hosting the New Mexico MainStreet conference highlights local capital projects and may draw regional attention and economic activity; the Hubbard Bridge ribbon-cutting and zoo infrastructure work are near-term local events and construction items residents can expect in the coming weeks.
