An Economic Development Plan for New Mexico's Future

 

SANTA FE, NM (By Jon Garrido, The Jon Garrido Network) August 23, 2010 — With substantial large scale private sector commercial, industrial & residential development experience as the former Vice President for Planning and Development for Valgroup (formerly the largest real estate development company in Arizona with over 6,000 acres of ownership in the Phoenix area), and public sector experience as the Economic Development Director for the City of El Paso, Texas, and Economic Development Coordinator for the City of Tucson, Arizona, in addition, Director of Community and Economic Development for the Salt River Indian Community, I have considerable private and public sector experience creating jobs, Foreign Trade Zones (I created two: Tucson and El Paso), and utilizing Industrial Revenue Bonds (former staff director of the El Paso Industrial Development Authority) to finance land acquisition, build or buy a facility and equipment used to attract companies to Texas and liaison with New Mexico State University at Las Cruces on development and use of an input-output model used to attract companies to El Paso and Santa Teresa, New Mexico. (Jon Garrido Resume)

 

It is with this practical professional background and actual successful first hand experience not theoretical, a 2011 tour of New Mexico towns and cities will take place to obtain input to prepare the New Mexico Economic Development Plan to create economic growth to change New Mexico's future.

 

This plan will be a working draft for the next 25 years as its growth of New Mexico creates an economic development multi-state regional hub of commerce, community, and culture with the plan being continuously refined.
