From October 9-12, residents affected by the recent fires and floods can receive expert advice at the Village of Ruidoso Community Center. FEMA specialists will provide guidance on repairs, rebuilding, and flood insurance. Don’t miss this opportunity to get valuable support and resources for your recovery efforts.

The New Mexico Tourism Department committed $125,000 to support tourism recovery in Ruidoso and Lincoln County after wildfires and floods. Combined with local funds, the total $200,000 will boost marketing efforts to encourage local shopping and visitor spending. This initiative aims to restore tourism and help the community recover economically.

The Ruidoso Community Center recently completed major renovations funded by a $372,826 grant from the NM Aging & Long-Term Services Capital Outlay Department. Upgrades include a redesigned commercial kitchen to enhance safety and efficiency, with improved sanitation measures, and renovated restrooms featuring new sinks, tile walls, and added privacy. These improvements ensure a cleaner, more functional space for community use.
