Valencia County continues to accelerate itsstrategies  in  economic  developmentwithout  state  and  federal  support  grants,and  the  state’s  own  metrics  illustrate  thestrides.New  Mexico’s  economic  development,  orlack thereof,  has become  disputed publiclywhile this outlier continues to make moves.
On  June  25 ,  New  Mexico’s  EconomicDevelopment Department  awarded atotal of $258,500 to 11 counties to assist ineconomic  development  efforts.  ValenciaCounty  was  not  one  of  them,  nor  is  itcollectively a part of the list of communitiesthin  the  state  that  are  currently  eligible  toreceive  funds  via  the  Local  EconomicDevelopment Act.U.S.  Senator  Ben  Ray  Luján  made  anannouncement  that  $44.6  million  intransportation,  housing  and  urbandevelopment  funds  were  to  be  secured  forNew  Mexico  projects  in  fiscal  2026  onTuesday. None of those appropriations weredesignated  for  Valencia  County  or  thecommunities within the county.Valencia  County  encompasses  severalcommunities that are on the LEDA list, suchas Belen, Bosque Farms, Los Lunas, PeraltaONE COUNTY IS MAKING MOVES ON ITSOWN WHILE NEW MEXICO’S“ECONOMIC EMERGENCE” IS DEBATEDBy Dane Vaughn, The Built Environment07/30/2025BUILTENVIRONMENT5Los Lunas’ Cat Hills located in Valencia County in February of 2013.

and Rio Communities. Yet the county as awhole has yet  to join  the list with its  largerpopulous  counterparts  such  as  BernalilloCounty and Santa Fe County. None of thoseValencia County communities have receivedLocal  Economic  Assistance  andDevelopment Support in the past two years.Granted  the  cap  for  a  LEADS  grant  is$25,000  which  the  Albuquerque  RegionalEconomic  Alliance,  located  in  BernalilloCounty,  will  be  receiving  for  a  “TalentsInsights  Advisory  Council”.  The  council  issaid  to  work  with  academia  to  assessworkforce perceptions in the city.Belen, within Valencia County, had to makethe decision to repeal a LEDA application in2023,  according  to  the  Valencia  CountyNews  Bulletin.  This  was  due  torequirements  imposed  on  Starbucks,  theleaser  of  a  new  building,  to  report  grossreceipt  tax  and  employee  metrics  to  thestate.Los  Lunas,  also  within  the  county,  hadimposed  its  own  LEDA  to  incentivizedevelopment  in  2015  as  a  public-privatepartnership strategy.“Through  this  mechanism,  we  have  beenable  to  successfully  incentivize  businessexpansion,  attract  high-impact  employers,and  invest  in  infrastructure  improvementsthat  ultimately benefit  the  entire ValenciaCounty  region,”  said  Victoria  Archuleta,Senior Economic  Developer for the  Villageof  Los  Lunas,  in  an  email  to  The  BuiltEnvironment.Valencia  County  Manager  JhonathanAragon  was  contacted  for  comment  on  thecounty’s  position  for  LEDA funding.  Therehave been no responses as of e-publication.BUILTENVIRONMENT6Construction site for a Fairfield Hotel located in Valencia County inJanuary of 2025. Copyright: The Built EnvironmentILLUSTRATING ECONOMICSTRIDESValencia County had more than doubled itsgross  receipt  tax  (GRT)  revenue  from fiscal2016  to  fiscal  2024  after  implementing  alocalized LEDA ordinance.That  time  span  does  not  represent  thedrastic  changes  occurring  in  the  county’seconomy within the past fiscal year.According to  EDD’s economic summary  ofthe  county  from  April,  the  annual  GRTrevenue  in  2024  was  over  $25  millionwhereas in 2016, one year after the countyenacted  its  LEDA  ordinance,  the  GRTrevenue stood at $10 million.As  of  this  year  there  was  a  1%  decrease  inmatched  taxable  gross  receipts  incomparison  to  last  year  for  the  entirecounty in all industries. Valency County wasone of eleven counties in the state to reporta  decrease  in  matched  taxable  grossreceipts.There  are  two  industries  that  largelyswayed that balance.  One took a  huge hit,leaving  a  hole  in  taxable  income  for  thecounty and another replenishing the

drained tax pool, averting a moresubstantial decrease in the collective. The finance and insurance industry in thecounty was somehow $2.4 million shy of therevenue it generated the previous year. The transportation and warehousingindustry, a stark contrast, saw a 127%increase in a single fiscal year. Who is to blame for the booming taxrevenue? Two corporate goliaths, saidVictoria Archuleta, Senior EconomicDeveloper for the Village of Los Lunas. Archuleta went on to state that the proximalWal-Mart Distribution Center currentlyemploys over 800 individuals and 100contract drivers. The Wal-Mart Distribution Center has beenoperational in Valencia County for the past26 years.Aside from the huge boom in tax receiptrevenue from transportation andwarehousing over the year, constructionwas the largest taxed industry in the countyfrom quarter to quarter, according to EDD. Future revenue generated by constructionto the benefit of the transportation,warehousing and manufacturing industry isdown the road; so too is furtheringeconomic development strategies andworkforce housing to reinforce themomentum. “The Village of Los Lunas continues toposition itself as one of the fastest growingand most business-friendly communities inNew Mexico. With ongoing infrastructureinvestments, a commitment to workforcedevelopment, and strategic partnershipswith local and global employers, we areactively shaping a diversified economy.Projects such as the new I-25 Interchangeand Los Lunas Boulevard Corridor,expansion of the Meta Data Center, andgrowing interest from logistics, technology,and manufacturing firms signal strongmomentum,” said Archuleta. The interchange project Archuletareferenced was reported by KRQE to breakground this summer. Originally the project was estimated to cost$127 million when it went out to bid inDecember of 2024. KRQE quoted anestimate that increased by $44 million -BUILTENVIRONMENT7“A primary contributor to the sharpincrease in this sector is the opening of theAmazon Fulfillment Center in Los Lunas inAugust 2024. At full operational capacity,the facility employs more than 1,200individuals during peak seasons,significantly boosting economic activity inthe region,” stated Archuleta in an emailresponse to The Built Environment.

with a completion in mid-2028.According  to  the  Los  Lunas  InfrastructureCapital Improvement Plan, for the next fiveyears the  total project  cost is  estimated at$220,965,936.When  plugging  the project’s  total estimateinto AGC’s Construction Impact Model, thatproject alone is  projected to inject $113.7million  per  year  into  the  state’s  economyover  the  course  of  the  project.  Theserevenue  projections  combine  spending  fromconstruction  activity  and  householdspending from worker income.BUILTENVIRONMENT8Rendering of the Los Lunas Boulevard Project, creating an east towest corridor across the rural community of Los Lunas.Copyright: Courtesy of the Village of Los LunasHow  much  does  the  booming  distributionindustry within  the county  stand to  benefitfrom the project?

New  Mexico  does  not  show  signs  ofembracing good economic policies and has beenheld  back for  decades,  according to  anarticle posted  to the foundation’s  website,Errors of Enchantment.“In  fact,  New  Mexico  is  in  the  process  ofmissing  out  on  a  transformative  economicboom  thanks  to  politicians’  failure  to  usemassive growth in oil and gas revenues todiversify  and  grow  the  State  economy,”states the foundation.The foundation cites a peer reviewed studyconducted  by  the Canadian-based  researchgroup,  the  Frasier  Institute.  According  tothe group’s website, their funding is derivedentirely from voluntary donations.That  study asserts  that  New  Mexico is  theonly state in  the U.S. to see  a decrease ineconomic freedom in the past  four  decadesas of March 2025.“In  the  most  economically  free  quartile  ofUS  states,  the  population  grew  8.3  percentfrom  2013  to  2022,  about  10  times  thegrowth  rate  of  the  least  free  states.  NewMexico  grew  just one  percent,”  states  theFraser Institute.Copyright: Canva Pro

In releasing the design of the project in May,Polis said, “Now, when Coloradoans of allages come to visit our State Capital, theycan more easily access and enjoy LincolnVeterans Park, while enjoying and learningfrom art from local artists.”But the proposal ran into the almostimmediate opposition of the group HistoryColorado, which said the walkway would be“highly out of place.”In a statement, John Deffenbaugh, HistoryColorado chief executive officer, said thewalkway “serves no functional purpose andis a response to a problem that does notexist.”History Colorado subsequently launched apetition drive protesting the project.But it was the results of an online surveypromoted by Polis that convinced him towalk away from the project. That survey, inwhich more than 84,000 peopleparticipated, indicated that upwards of 94%of respondents were against the project.In a statement upon the release of thatsurvey, Polis said, “I will stop the pedestrianwalkway in its tracks.”In a jocular note, Polis added that “if needed,I will chain myself to the Capitol Plaza inorder to prevent it from being built.”In the category of just leaving well enoughalong, Polis also noted the response to asecond question on the survey asking foropinions on sponsoring smaller scaleprojects to celebrate the state’s upcomingbirthday: 33,112 respondents said theywould be supportive of smaller projects,while 48,082 were for “no anniversaryprojects at all.”BUILTENVIRONMENT34Work on what is being called the nation’s“largest immigration detention center” isexpected to begin later this summer at FortBliss in El Paso.The Department of Defense has announcedthat it will spend upwards of $1.2 billion tobuild a facility that will be big enough tohouse around 5,000 beds.The project will go up on a 60-acre site thatwas cleared and leveled by the Army inApril. That site is located to the rear of a SunMetro park-and-ride site on MontanaAvenue.The new facility is a response to stepped-upenforcement activities along theU.S./Mexico border.

That figure is up from the less than 40,000being held earlier this year during the lastmonth of the Biden administration.There are dozens of immigration detentioncenters operated by ICE across the country.Those facilities, the agency has said, areused to “house aliens to secure theirpresence for immigration proceedings orremoval from the U.S.”“The size and scope” of the Fort Bliss facility,notes Military.com, “makes it one of the mostsignificant investments in immigrantdetention infrastructure in recent years.”It is thought that the facility will primarily beused to house single adult detainees.According to ICE, the new project isofficially scheduled for completion onSeptember 30, 2027. A $1.2 billion contracthas been awarded to the Richmond,Virginia-based Acquisition LogisticsCompany to build the facility.Fort Bliss is seen as a logical location for thenew detention center, not only because ofits proximity to the border, but also for its1,700-square-mile size, which takes in partsof New Mexico.BUILTENVIRONMENT35Copyright: Canva proA currently vacant dirt parking lot inDenver’s rapidly changing Coleneighborhood could soon be the home to anew 300-unit apartment complex.The Exdo Development Group, which isbased in Denver, wants to put up a seven-story structure at the 2.3-acre site, withplans to also build some 4,500 square feet ofretail space.The project at 3648 N.

Those endeavorshave included adaptive re-use, as well ashotel, apartment, and Class A officeprojects.The Cache La Poudre/Mesa Road Bridgewas originally built in the aftermath of a1935 flood that destroyed the previousfootbridge. Work on the new bridge, to befunded as a New Deal project, began almostimmediately just months later.Because it was more specifically a WorksProgress Administration effort, it wasdesigned in the Art Deco style that gracedmany of the agency’s infrastructure projectsnationally.Completed and opened for traffic in thespring of 1936, the two-lane structurespanning Monument Creek has long servedas a primary throughway within the bordersof the city’s Monument Valley Park, used byvehicles, bike-riders, and walkers.Now the City of Colorado Springs isengaged in a process to update the nearly90-year-old structure. Because the bridgehas been listed on the National Register ofHistoric Places, that process is centered onrehabilitating, not replacing, the 232-foot-long structure.To that end, the City has made certain toannounce that the original rock walls builtby the WPA under the bridge “will not beimpacted by the project.”According to plans, the rehabilitation workwill include building a deck replacement,general roadway and drainageimprovements, and new lighting.The project, to be funded via the regionalPikes Peak Rural Transportation Authorityin conjunction with the City of ColoradoSprings, will also include a slight widening ofthe bridge’s sidewalks and new signage.Continues >BUILTENVIRONMENT36The rehabilitation of one of the oldestbridges in Colorado Springs is currently inthe design phase, with actual work expectedto begin early next year.COLORADO SPRINGSNEW DEAL BRIDGESCHEDULED FORREHABILITATIONBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter07/24/2025Copyright: Canva pro

BUILTENVIRONMENTCONSTRUCTION NEWSNATIONALThe U.S. Chamber of Commerce is planningto mount a major effort this fall tomodernize the federal government’spermitting system, arguing that businessesare “ready and willing to innovate, invest,and build, but we need a permitting systemthat will help, not hinder, those efforts.” In a message to its members, the Chamberargues that “from highways and housing toenergy, infrastructure, and broadbandexpansion, the ability to build is being stifledby a tangled and inefficient permittingprocess.”CONGRESS TO SEEMOVE FOR PERMITTINGREFORM THIS FALLBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment07/30/2025Copyright: Canva proThis means that projects that by areasonable measure should be approved inmonths are often “delayed for years,burdened by excessive reviews, interagencygridlock, and legal uncertainty.”The upshot, according to the Chamber, isthat what was formerly a low bureaucratichurdle has now become a “major barrier toeconomic growth, energy security, andenvironmental progress.”The Chamber’s effort comes in the wake ofcomments made by Louisiana RepublicanRepresentative and House Majority LeaderSteve Scalise that members “want to seepermitting reform this fall.”Scalise said permitting reform legislationmay take the form of being introduced as astandalone bill, and is hoping that thelegislation will win bipartisan approval.The bipartisan aspect is thought to beimportant for two reasons, according to thesite No Labels: it would have a better chanceof clearing a filibuster-proof 60-votethreshold in the Senate. But secondly,“when both parties shape the legislation,both parties are invested in making it work,and neither side is looking to tear it down.”“There is a lot of interest in getting thatdone,” Scalise remarked to Politico indiscussing the prospects for a standalonebill. “Democrats in the past, some have said, 39

‘We want to see permitting reform.’ Let’sgive them that opportunity to help us get itdone.”The permitting reform push has won thesupport of a coalition of industry andbusiness groups, including the AssociatedBuilders and Contractors, IndependentPetroleum Association of America, andNational Association of Realtors, amongothers.Advocates have noted that permittingreform is particularly important to theenergy industry, where it now takes up tofour years to build wind and solar projects,and ten years to proceed with a newtransmission line.Scalise has said that while severalcommittees are working on the subject,there is currently no timeline set in cementfor exactly when a comprehensive bill willbe introduced.BUILTENVIRONMENT40Copyright: Canva proPlanning for new hotel constructionprojects nationally during the secondquarter of this year was up by 3% overwhere things stood in the second quarter of2025, according to a new industry survey.The Portsmouth, New Hampshire-basedLodging Econometrics is reporting that as ofthe end of June there were 6,280 new hotelprojects underway, representing a total of737, 036 rooms.The number of projects, meanwhile, that areunder construction totaled 1,120, whichincludes 138,776 rooms.Continues >NEW HOTEL PROJECTSUP ACROSS THECOUNTRY SO FAR THISYEAR; PROSPECTS FORREST OF YEARUNCERTAIN, SAYS NEWREPORTBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter07/28/2025Copyright: Canva pro

The greatest growth is being seen in what are described as the “upper midscale chain” hotels,which saw 2,282 new projects between April and June, comprising 219,875 rooms. Thesecond highest numbers were seen in the upscale chain properties, with 1,427 projects,representing 177,756 rooms.Developers, at the same time, continue to be drawn to extended-stay hotel brands whichsaw 2,473 individual projects in the planning stage, representing 352,028 rooms.“Throughout the first two quarters” of this year, notes the report, “148 new extended-stayhotels: 15,397 rooms were opened across the country.” The Lodging Econometrics report isforecasting that by the end of this year, exactly 293 extended stay hotels will be open, alongwith 30, 341 rooms.The renovation end of hotel work has seen 1,965 individual projects for a total of 259,445rooms.The Lodging Econometrics report comes as the publication Hotel Dive is noting that overallhotel construction volume has been on the downside this year. “U.S. government actionshave caused economic uncertainty, and tariffs have negatively impacted constructionpipelines.”BUILTENVIRONMENT41New affordable housing constructionprojects may see a decrease nationallydepending upon the fate of a budget cutbeing proposed by the Trumpadministration.Several weeks ago the White Houseannounced that it wanted to see a $27billion reduction in programs designed toprovide aid in the form of rental support tolow-income tenants.

BUILTENVIRONMENT42Reducing such programs could have the effect ofdampening the rental market, which in turn maycause developers and builders to be lessinterested in lower income apartment complexconstruction, notes the Wall Street Journal.The paper reports that as of now what would be a43% cut in the rental assistance programs is“creating enough uncertainty that some lendersare already pulling back, stalling new affordablehousing projects.”In a statement, the Urban Institute has said thatthe reduction in federal support for the programwould “severely decrease housing stability.”“Amid a nationwide affordable housing crisis, theproposal runs directly counter to the needs ofmany Americans,” the statement continued.But the Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment, under Trump’s directive, has said itsonly goal is to reduce excessive spending in theprogram. “We want to be lean and mean, notbloated and bureaucratic,” Scott Turner, HUDdirector, remarked in Senate hearings last month.According to HUD, the number of rental units thatare currently subject to rental assistance varieswidely state by state, with the number reachingmore than 431,600 units in California and around218,500 units in Texas.Total units in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexicoare near the 100,000 mark each. Altogether,around 5 million people in the U.S. receive federalassistance to help pay for their rent.Concerns that the budget reduction will impactnew housing construction have reached the HouseAppropriations Committee, which has moved todecrease the Trump cuts.The Senate Appropriations Committee isscheduled to take up the question this week.

BUILTENVIRONMENTCONSTRUCTION NEWSTRENDSMore women have moved into managerialpositions in recent years, a trend that isexpected to only accelerate in the decadesahead.According to a just-released survey by thePew Research Center, 64% of all workplacemanagers are now women, compared withonly 29% in 1980.WOMEN AREINCREASINGLY TAKINGON MANAGERIALPOSITIONSNATIONALLY, SAYSNEW SURVEYBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter07/29/2025Copyright: Canva proThis ascendancy has brought with itincreased salaries, with the averagemanager as of the end of 2023 earningaround $86,000 annually, compared with anaverage of $48,000 for workers in allprofessions.Women have cemented their gains in thenursing, teaching, and social workprofessions where they have traditionallybeen strong. But, according to Pew analysis,“Women are now filling 38% of majority-male professional jobs, up from 23% in1980.”“Some examples of these kinds ofoccupations,” the analysis continues,“include computer scientists, physicians,lawyers, and judges.”Women have also increasingly been makingtheir marks in the fields of networkadministrator, software developer, andemergency medical technician.One factor favoring the rise of women inmanagerial positions: education.“A majority of managerial and professionalworkers have at least a bachelor’s degree,”notes the analysis. “Women have beenoutpacing men in college completion fordecades, and they now make up the majorityof college education workers, 53% in 2023,up from 39% in 1980.” Continues >46

The Pew analysis also asserts that previousstudies have shown that women “have anedge over men in jobs in which social skillsare more important,” with such skills beingin particular demand for managers.But while women today make up a healthy46% and 42% of the law and medicalprofessions respectively, they make up only29% and 16% of the computer scientist andnetwork systems managerial positions. The figures were equally low in the Pacificregion, which is made up of California,Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska,where the overall figure is 7%, comparedwith 8% in 2023.Lowest of all is the West South-Centralregion comprising Texas and Louisiana,seeing septic tank systems in 5% of newhomes, compared to 6% in 2023.States with the greatest number of newhomes with individual septic tank systemswere seen in New England, which saw anincrease in such options from 38% of homesin 2023 to a large 49% last year.The states of the Midwest, which includeMichigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, andWisconsin – all in what the NAHB calls theEast North Central region – saw an increasein septic tank construction from 23% in2023 to 28% in 2024.“Nationally, the majority of new homes wereconnected to public water systems,” notedan NAHB narrative accompanying thesurvey results. The same holds true forsewage systems, with 84% of new single-family homes in 2024 connected to a publicsewer system.Overall, notes the NAHB, “the share of newhomes built with individual septic tanks hasbeen generally on a decline across mostregions since 2010.”According to a recent U.S. Census Bureaustudy, around 25% of all existing Americanhomes have septic tanks, from a high of 55%in Vermont to a low of around 10% inCalifornia.BUILTENVIRONMENT47Almost every region of the country iscontinuing to see a decline in the presenceof private water and sewer systems in newhomes, according to a new surveyconducted by the National Association ofHome Builders.The states of Arizona, Colorado, and NewMexico are bunched together by the NAHBstudy in a regional reading showing thatonly 9% of new homes last year featuredindividual septic systems, a decline from10% the previous year.PRIVATE WATER ANDSEWER SYSTEMS INNEW HOMES REMAINON DOWNWARD SLOPE,SAYS NEW SURVEYBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter07/25/2025Copyright: Canva pro

FEATUREDPRE-BID PROJECTPlans are now underway in Kingman, Arizona for the building of what is beingdescribed as the “world’s only stand-alone electric vehicle museum.”The project will go up at 519 East Beale Street and will belong to the Historic ElectricVehicle Foundation.Earlier this spring, members of the Kingman City Council voted to approve a dealselling the property in question to the HEVF for $925,000. Founded in 2014, the HEVF specializes in what is called a collection of historicallysignificant electric vehicles. That collection now has more than 125 vehicles somedating to the first decade of the last century.The eclectic collection includes a 1960 Electric Shopper, and a Rolls Royce-themed golfcart once owned by entertainment legend Willie Nelson, as well as a Detroit Electricvehicle from 1930.Upwards of 13,000 Detroit Electric vehicles were manufactured between 1907 and1939 before the line was discontinued.The museum will be built in a one-story, nearly 20,000-square-foot structure that wasbuilt in 1982 and is designated as a Class B structure.The museum has previously been housed in a two-story building located at 208 N. 5thStreet, a space that HEVF officials say they have long since outgrown.KINGMAN BUILDING TOBE REPURPOSED TOHOUSE UNIQUE ELECTRICVEHICLE MUSEUMBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter07/28/2025BUILTENVIRONMENT53

BUILTENVIRONMENT72AI IN THE PHYSICALWORLD: THE NEXTLEVEL OF DIGITALCHANGE INCOMMERCIAL REALESTATECommercial real estate has entered a newstage of digital change with artificialintelligence (AI). The industry already enjoysthe advantages of IoT devices, smart sensorsand digital twins. Now, with AI, buildingmanagement can be done smarter. AI in the physical world is the blend ofmechanical systems, infrastructure androbotics, enabling buildings to sense, analyzeand act without human intervention.

One of the great early 20th century El Pasobuildings designed by well-known architectHenry Trost is on the market with an askingprice of $950,000. It was listed last fall for justover $1 million.Located at 117 W. Overland Avenue, the five-story Haymon Krupp Building was completed in1916 and is designated as a Class C building.For decades, serving as a clothing factory thatonce employed more than five hundred people,the building was eventually the home to afurniture factory as well as a boot factory.The structure was purchased at auction in 2018for $875,000 by the development companyMyers Group, with the firm later raising thepossibility of demolishing the 37,500-square-foot building owing to the high projected cost ofupdating it.Those demolition plans were criticized by thenon-profit group Preservation Texas whichsuggested that the Myers Group should makeuse of “state and federal tax credits,” thusensuring that a “prominent architecturallandmark in El Paso” would remain intact.In 2022, Preservation Texas added the structureto its Most Endangered Places list.
