While the Great Blocks project in Alamogordo's New York Avenue has been approved and is proceeding at a good pace to install new water lines, sewer lines, lights, sidewalks and new streets; the many small businesses continue to operate with special events. They need the public's support!

The is ample parking on the adjacent public parking lots and contractors staff is helping customers navigate the construction area to get into the shops so come on down to Alamogordo's 900 Block and support the area businesses.
