GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ City and state officials broke ground on the Arcadia 4 Subdivision near Red Hawk Golf Course—using $3,250,000 of the $11 million state funds for more affordable housing—and will build 52 single family homes aimed at buyers making up to 120% of the area median income; construction begins over the next year to help narrow the local housing gap. The Las Cruces Bulletin
- ➤ Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that lawmakers will hold a special session to address federal cuts from H.R.-1 that threaten Medicaid, SNAP, rural hospitals, and health care services. Preparations are underway to secure state funds and help preserve these programs — lawmakers will act soon. The Las Cruces Bulletin
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ Residents with chronic conditions have struggled to access care because out-of-state doctors cannot treat them through telehealth. Lawmakers are expected to consider joining additional interstate compacts—New Mexico has so far joined only the Nurse Licensure Compact, forcing patients to travel for specialist care. The Las Cruces Bulletin
REAL ESTATE NEWS
- ➤ An August real estate report shows a slowdown in the Las Cruces market with home closings down 20%—affordability issues and high interest rates leave sellers with unsold homes while buyers now have over 800 listings to choose from. Homes priced slightly under market value still sell quickly and lower federal rates expected later may boost buyer demand this fall. The Las Cruces Bulletin

A new take on hydration
For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
