From Office of the Mayor: Alamogordo Capital Projects Moving Forward: Major Infrastructure Improvements Planned for 2026-2027 - AlamogordoTownNews.org

Alamogordo N.M.- With the City Commission’s approval of the FY27 Budget at the end of July, Alamogordo is moving full speed ahead on an ambitious slate of infrastructure improvements. The city will now begin advertising for competitive bids on several “shovel-ready” projects that have been completely designed and are ready for construction.

Downtown and Central Areas: Post Office District Waterline and Road Rehabilitation

Residents and business owners in the area around the Post Office will soon see significant infrastructure upgrades. The planned project encompasses waterline replacement and road rehabilitation on streets including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Dewey Lane. Competitive bidding for this project is scheduled for September, with construction expected to follow shortly after contract award.

Oregon Avenue Phase 2

Continuing the city’s commitment to upgrading critical water infrastructure, Phase 2 of the Oregon Avenue project will address waterline replacement and roadway rehabilitation south from 10th Street. Like the Post Office district project, this work will be advertised for competitive bids in September.

Recreation: The Alamogordo Natatorium

One of the city’s most anticipated projects is right on track. The new Natatorium will head to bid advertising in September, with contract awards expected in December 2026. Construction is projected to begin in January 2027, bringing the community closer to enjoying this important recreational facility.

Water Infrastructure Beyond City Center

Pivot Transmission Line Replacement Project

The Pivot Transmission Line Replacement represents an innovative reclaimed water distribution project that will serve the city’s long-term sustainability goals. However, this project requires coordination with federal authorities. The city is currently awaiting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval, as the project traverses property belonging to the Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport. Once approval is received, the project will move forward.

Granada Hills District

The Granada Hills area will benefit from state-financed waterline replacement and road rehabilitation. This project is scheduled to be advertised for competitive bids before the end of 2026.

Walker and Airport Road Neighborhoods

Addressing aging waterline infrastructure along US Highway 70, the city is preparing plans for replacement work that will service the Walker and Airport Road neighborhoods. Competitive bids for this project are expected to be advertised between November and December 2026.

Looking Ahead

These capital projects represent a significant investment in Alamogordo’s future—upgrading aging water systems, improving roadways, and enhancing recreation amenities for residents and visitors alike. The city remains committed to transparent project management and community communication throughout each phase of construction.

Residents with questions about any of these projects are encouraged to contact the Office of the City Manager, Office of the Mayor, or the City’s Public Works Department. Project bidding can be found at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/alamogordonm

The "mayor" has an office? Everyone sees straight through your P.R. circus. Your lap dog , Old McDonald, is just as half-blind and limited as the rest of us poor ******** scrambling in the real world. All the real knowledge about Alamo's economy is scattered like a bad acid trip--local, slippery, half-muttered--so no picture poseur can ever get her greasy paws on the whole mess. When that swaggering fool acts like she can design and control these wild, complex systems,  she's just putting on a dangerous pretence of knowledge that crashes hard due to pure, screaming incompetence, because all she did was read the Cliff Notes.

Obviously you have never met nor engaged with the mayor. She works tirelessly full file research, engaging with constituents and legislators at the state and federal level and with policy experts from DC to New Mexico to learn and better serve her constituency. Don't let your racism and or misogyny get in the way of actually learning there are political leaders that actually do give a damn and are committed to the public good. One doesn't have to be polished to be impactful. But your comments demonstrate exactly who you are and it is not a good look.

i am going to suggest that you leave these insults, and negative comments in place, as posted.  a few days back you deleted some similar insults, and i don't believe that served the greater purpose.  racists, misogynists, and other assorted fools are a very real component in our society and i believe their thoughts deserve to remain on public display.
as an old saying has it - everyone serves a useful purpose, even if it's just to be a bad example.

Tom, you and I have disagreed on several articles before. In an adult and respectful manner. Some of these clown shoes posting here absolutely should leave their comments up. Of course, they are afraid to use their real names.

Boys, it's a fact that in politics, the worst and least qualified get to the top. Racism? Anger management? A good look? Don't start pearl-clutching over a First Amendment comment just because you're a fanboy. That's why it's called a 'comment'? We'll all see about the public good as time rolls on and bills increase and services decrease. I doubt you'll write that up.

Well that is not always the case having been involved deeply in political matters in California, Tennessee, South Carolina and New Mexico I have encountered many brilliant and selfless individuals that are passionate leaders and seeking positive outcomes. Those that just see the worst well that speaks volumes of their personal prejudice and a lack of respect for those that actually care

Editor, you're a real hoot because from what I've read in your blog, I think everyone is smarter than you are, so I understand you're impressed with what the rest of us know are just plain fools.
