Share Your Ideas for Las Cruces’ Future
You said yes to investing in Las Cruces—and now we want to hear from you!
In November 2024, voters approved a 0.325% Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) increase to fund critical projects that strengthen our community, including public safety, parks, streets, and other vital infrastructure. Now, it’s time to decide together how these funds should be used.
Why Your Voice Matters
City Council is inviting residents to share ideas for new capital projects or the continuation of existing ones. Your input will help shape the priorities that guide how these dollars are invested in the years ahead.
This is your opportunity to help determine what matters most for the future of Las Cruces.
