The New Mexico Economic Development Department (NMEDD) is hosting a webinar at 1 p.m. March 26 to unveil its Empower & Collaborate State Economic Development Plan update.
The event is part of planning New Mexico’s comprehensive approach to economic development, which will look at short-term opportunities, long-term planning and economic diversification.
EDD has worked alongside numerous stakeholders including state agencies like the Department of Workforce Solutions, Higher Education Department, Indian Affairs Department, Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, regional and local governments, along with many other organizations and industry leaders to create a strategic plan and identify action steps for economic growth.
This state plan is not intended to be the final step but serve as a critical first step for unifying New Mexico’s economic development ecosystem.
Vision: New Mexico will have a diverse and robust economy that engages local talent, cultivates innovation and delivers prosperity for all New Mexicans.
The event will feature NMEDD Cabinet Secretary-designate Rob Black; Lorenzo Reyes, VP/Dean of Workforce and Economic Development at San Juan College; and Taos Mayor Pascualito Maestas.
It will be moderated by NMEDD Just Transition Advisor Kayla Lucero-Matteucci.
