NEWS RELEASE: City of Las Vegas Awarded $1.48 Million for Commerce Street Improvements

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) has awarded $1.48 million to the City of Las Vegas to reconstruct more than 3,200 feet of Commerce Street. This funding comes from the Transportation Project Fund (TPF), which supports local transportation projects. The work will fix ongoing storm water drainage problems and repair pavement that has been in poor shape for years.

This is an important milestone for the community, as it has been decades since this area saw this level of investment. Securing the funding took a lot of effort, and city officials are proud of the teamwork that made it happen. Under the current administration, the City has secured millions of dollars for infrastructure projects to improve roads, utilities, and other essential services. More improvements are planned, with updates to come.

The City thanks Chairman Walter Adams and the entire District 4 staff for their partnership and support. Las Vegas is committed to applying for TPF grants every year and will continue seeking every opportunity to improve local infrastructure. This achievement wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of our Public Works Department, led by Public Works Director Arnold Lopez.

This year, NMDOT invested over $100 million in transportation projects across New Mexico, funding 71 projects. That is more than twice the amount from last year. The City of Las Vegas is proud to be part of this statewide progress and will keep working to improve the quality of life for everyone in the community.
