LAS CRUCES - The capital outlay bill signed last week by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham includes more than $28 million in funding for projects in Doña Ana County, as well as millions for other projects in southern New Mexico.
The bill funds more than $511 million in projects throughout the state, including roughly $64 million for water and wastewater improvements, $53 million for roads, $49 million for higher education, $48 million for public safety and $8 million for acequias, dams, and ditches. There is also $12.5 million to support Local Economic Development Act projects and $10 million for health facilities and prisons.
Lujan Grisham used her line-item veto authority to strike less than two percent of the projects included in the bill, explaining in a news release that the projects she vetoed lacked proper planning, had unused funds from previous years or were not large enough to qualify for capital appropriation.
