PLS has been contracted by the NM State Outdoor Recreation Division to explore what is going in regions around the state and make recommendations about how the state can make the best investments in communities statewide.

Many individuals from the City of Lordsburg, the Chamber of Commerce, Hidalgo County Herald, and other community representatives contributed to the conversation.
