As part of MVEDA’s “Business Connection Series”, New Mexico Economic Development Cabinet Secretary Jon Barela will join economic development representatives from throughout the area and meet with residents to discuss initiatives to create jobs for New Mexicans and to identify ways to provide employment and growth opportunities for small businesses. The Las Cruces town hall will be held on Wednesday, August 3 from 3:00 – 5:30 p.m. at the Dona Ana Community College Workforce Development Center, 2345 E. Nevada.
The meetings will include an introduction by Secretary Barela, presentations by selected panel members and a public comment/input portion. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
The information and feedback gathered from these meetings will be taken into consideration for a job creation bill for the 2012 Legislative Session. The goal of this job creation bill is to make New Mexico competitive when it comes to local, national and international job recruitment, retention and expansion.
