Northern New Mexico Regional Economic Development Services Plan

In February, 2009, after more than a year of study and community discussion, seven Northern New Mexico governments in the four‐county region of Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe and Taos completed a Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Regional Economic Development Strategic Plan. The Plan recommended that a public‐private partnership be formed to implement a regional approach to economic development encompassing four strategic areas of joint activity:

• to develop business‐friendly policies;
• to enhance regional infrastructure in support of economic competitiveness;
• to support human capital initiatives to upgrade the skills of the local workforce; and
• to create cost‐effective, non‐duplicative economic development services capabilities

This following report is a roadmap to guide implementation of cost-effective, non-duplicative regional economic development business attraction, retention and expansion, and creation services.
