Building a Place-Based Economy in Northwest New Mexico

The Northwest New Mexico Council of Governments is a designated as a Economic Development District and the COG catalyzes planning and strategic innovation to empower the region and its people to find opportunities to prosper. The COG has focused on our authentic skills and regional assets, which have helped to shape a place-driven strategy of promoting our history, culture, arts, and adventure. Many of the initiatives highlighted on this page sprouted from this understanding and strategy, and showcases the power of what a regional organization can accomplish.  We stand stronger working to together.

Adventure Gallup & Beyond
