Certified Communities
Here at the New Mexico Economic Development Department, we recognize that in a local community, a little change can have a big impact. That’s why we created the Certified Communities Initiative.
First, our Regional Representative Team will work with you on your application, which includes passing a Local Economic Development Act. Next, we provide you with a CCI grant and extra support through our Co-op Advertising Program. Once that’s done, we use publicity to put your community on the map and new business in your backyard.
Certified Community status comes with up to $5000 of contractual funding for two years for special projects and ten bonus points toward your score in the Coop Advertising Program.
Most important, being a Certified Community shows the world that you are willing to invest in the infrastructure that successful, growing businesses need.
