The Las Cruces City Council recently convened to, among other items, pass purchasing agreements for workers' attire and tweak the master plan blueprint for Sonoma Ranch North. As reported by the City of Las Cruces, new uniforms and accessories for city employees come with a price cap just shy of $200,000 in an agreement with Bazaar Uniforms and Men’s Store out of El Paso, effective until fall 2029.
In the legislative arena, the Council greenlit an amendment to extend their relationship with Lawrence J. Horan, a lobbyist tasked to fiercely represent the City's interests at legislative sessions. This contract, not to surpass $120,000, will span until November 4, 2026. According to the municipality's announcement, Horan's role is to help secure both funding and policy breakthroughs for Las Cruces.
Shifting gears to zoning, Council members mapped out a future for Sonoma Ranch North by designating nearly 6 acres of land for varied new developments. This plan, highlighted on Las Cruces' official site, earmarks two acres for flood control and recreation, while roughly 3 acres alongside Sonoma Ranch Boulevard will fuse commercial, office, and residential apartment space, adding one acre for densely packed single-family homes.
