Metropolitan Redevelopment Area Plan (MRA Plan)

The Village of Ruidoso and the Ruidoso Midtown Association has embarked on an assessment of the commercial corridor along Sudderth Drive, which includes Ruidoso’s Midtown area and the gateway areas on either side leading into the Midtown district, known as a Metropolitan Redevelopment Plan (MRA Plan). The purpose of the MRA Plan is to promote economic development in the Midtown district and the adjacent commercial districts that are the gateways into Midtown.

The plan will provide opportunities for rehabilitation or redevelopment of designated areas by private enterprise. Commercial areas that are underperforming can benefit from the public investments that are enabled by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Code. Powers granted to municipalities in New Mexico through the Metropolitan Redevelopment Act are intended to enable municipalities to promote economic activities in areas where growth and development are hindered by physical and other conditions.
