On Monday, February 5, the Doña Ana County Board of Commissioners will meet to discuss passing an ordinance to adopt a County Regional Spaceport Gross Receipts Tax. If the ordinance is approved, a special election will be held on April 3rd to approve a .25% increase in the gross receipts tax to support the spaceport. The special meeting will begin with public comment at 9:00am in the Commission Chambers, 845 N. Motel Boulevard, Las Cruces, New Mexico
The Board of Directors of the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance has long supported the spaceport as an exceptional opportunity to bring good jobs and educational opportunities to southern New Mexico while capitalizing upon this region’s long history as an aerospace development and testing center. The board formally passed in April, 2006 a resolution in support of the gross receipts tax funding mechanism. The board urges those interested in the economic development of this region to voice support for the passage of the increase at the meeting on Monday.
