The One Valley, One Vision 2040 Regional Plan is a long-range, regional comprehensive plan that evaluates the needs of the region for the next 30 years and ways to meet those needs. The main components of the plan includes a regional vision statement, snapshot of existing conditions, goals and strategies, regional growth strategies, and suggested actions. This draft plan is the result of many public meetings over the past year by stakeholder representatives of the Vision 2040 Advisory Committee. The public review period for the plan runs through the middle of July 2011. The plan is available online at http://vision2040.las-cruces.org.

Luncheon cost is $20.00 per person, payable by cash, check or major credit card. Due to space limitations, reservations are required. Please confirm your attendance no later than Thursday, June 30 by sending an email to rsvp@mveda.com or by calling the office at (575) 525-2852. The meeting is open to the public.
