City Commission Meeting Overview Inn of the Mountain of the Gods To Manage Alamogordo Fun Center

To an Alamogordo City Commission Chamber filled to the brim with constituents the Alamogordo City Commission met in regular session and brief executive session on Tuesday completing a plethora of business. The one item on the agenda that drove a large public turnout was a presentation prepared by the Mescalero Apache Tribes leadership of the Inn of the Mountain Gods.

The Inn of the Mountain Gods presented a plan to take over the failed Alamogordo Fun Family Center and convert it into a family fun attraction that would be functional and affordable to the local community. The leadership made a presentation to the commission and the public. The city staff has been working with the Inn leadership for a while to ensure it would be a good fit for resident and recommended commission approval.

The Alamogordo City Commission then voted unanimously to award a management contract to the Inn of the Mountain Gods.

After more than a year since the Family Fun Center closed its doors, the City of Alamogordo is thrilled to announce this exciting new partnership and a plan forward in family entertainment.
