LAS CRUCES - The city is inviting residents and business owners to review and comment on the draft Metropolitan Redevelopment Area plan for West Picacho and Motel Boulevard.

An MRA identifies a specific area within city limits for targeted investment and revitalization. The draft outlines concepts that could include additional housing, upgraded public spaces, a food-truck court, a plaza and park features. It also explores options such as converting hotel rooms to apartments.

Residents can review the plan and submit feedback at LasCruces.gov/WPicachoMotelMRA through Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025. City officials said input gathered this month will help refine the draft before it returns for further discussion.
