54th OSS Group at Holloman Air Force Base Volunteering with Alamogordo MainStreet - Alamogordo MainStreet

Alamogordo MainStreet has expressed a huge thank you to the 54th OSS Group at Holloman Air Force Base and CASA Auto Group’s Big Give Project for rolling up their sleeves with Alamogordo MainStreet’s Facade Squad and volunteering to assist with the New York Avenue makeover of the 800 and 900 Blocks.

With 20 volunteers working 3 days a week throughout July, these volunteers contributed over 244 hours of time, a value of $6,100, to help refresh 15 downtown buildings with nearly $60,000 in façade improvements. These military volunteers are making a difference to the heart of Alamogordo - New York Avenue.

This incredible effort builds on the $5.7 million downtown streetscape investment through facilitied with grants, New Mexico MainStreet Capital Outlay and the City of Alamogordo all leading up to a very special Grand Opening of the MainStreet Makeover later this year.

The hard work and community spirit showcased by these giving and caring individuals are true representations of the movement we call #AlamogordoProud.

Their help is instrumental in the effort of the makeover of historic downtown to make it shine brighter than ever. As a business on the 1200 Block of New York Avenue we celebrate the makeover in progress and pay homage to the countless hours of volunteer work that is taking on the challenge to make Alamogordo MainStreet- New York Avenue a corridor of the city we can all be proud of. Thank you!
