Site-Ready and Business-Ready: 4CED Advances Strategic Site Cataloging in San Juan County

22 May 2025

News

New momentum for San Juan County and New Mexico’s economic future! The New Mexico Economic Development Department (NMEDD) has updated its 2025 State of New Mexico economic development plan, prioritizing a catalog of "ready-to-go" industrial and manufacturing sites. 4CED, in partnership with the City of Farmington and San Juan County, is cataloging the area’s sites to attract new businesses quickly, addressing a critical gap highlighted in the 2022 Competitive Asset Assessment.

Updated state plan and SB 169 fuel efforts to attract new industry

Site cataloging has been heightened with the new Strategic Economic Development Site Readiness Act (SB 169), which establishes a formal statewide framework and funding. Individuals with knowledge of large, site-ready parcels in San Juan County are encouraged to contact Scott Bird at (505) 566-3702 to have them listed in the statewide catalog and on 4CED’s Available Properties page.
