Gov. Lujan Grisham visits local businesses to highlight state investments in homegrown success stories
SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Monday visited local businesses in Albuquerque that have received financial assistance from her state administration as part of the governor’s efforts to celebrate and support homegrown New Mexico businesses as the state begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Bueno Foods, the governor highlighted a $500,000 state Local Economic Development Act job-creation grant that will help the family-owned producer and manufacturer expand its storage and manufacturing capacity to better distribute New Mexico chile and other products throughout the U.S. The expansion will include a new 25,000-square-foot freezer warehouse at its manufacturing campus on 4th St. SW. Bueno Foods is slated to begin hiring an additional 49 employees upon the conclusion of the expansion in 2022.

“Frozen vegetables were really becoming the rage,” says Ana Baca, Joe Baca’s daughter and vice president of marketing and communications. “People were being able to afford freezers at that time.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Yet another New Mexico food manufacturer is planning an expansion with the help of state funding.
The New Mexico Economic Development Department announced Wednesday that Saputo Dairy USA, a large-scale producer of cheese and other dairy products, is planning to invest up to $30 million in its existing facility at the Las Cruces Innovation and Industrial Park. The investment will help the company expand its capacity and add 150 new employees, according to a news release from EDD.
“Southern New Mexico is expanding its manufacturing footprint quickly,” said Cabinet Secretary Alicia Keyes. “The expansion of Saputo Dairy USA’s facility will create the jobs we need to diversify our economy and get people back to work as we recover from this pandemic.”
