The City of Las Cruces is set to host a meeting for Neighborhood Associations and Neighborhood Watches on Saturday, March 15, 2025. The session, scheduled from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., will take place at the Council Chambers in Las Cruces City Hall located at 700 N. Main Street.

City representatives will guide attendees through the process of registering their associations with the city. This registration offers several benefits including increased communication with local government, access to resources such as grants for neighborhood improvement projects, and improved community engagement.

According to the city officials, "Neighborhood Associations and Neighborhood Watches registered with the City will receive regular updates on relevant City projects, events, and programs." Additionally, "Registered groups may access City resources, including grants and support for neighborhood improvement projects."

The event also aims to foster stronger partnerships between neighborhoods and local leaders by joining the city's network. "Registrations help ensure that Neighborhood Associations and Watches are officially recognized," enhancing their visibility within city-sponsored programs.

For further details about this initiative, interested parties can reach out to Catrina Godinez, Community Engagement Manager at 575/528-3003 or via email.

This meeting presents an opportunity for local neighborhoods to better connect with city governance and leverage available resources.
