Higher Ed Bond 3

ENMU has deep roots in New Mexico's ranching and farming communities, and we are stepping up to the plate with some massive upgrades! Thanks to a recently approved $2 million bond and a historic $15 million measure going to the ballot this fall, we are completely transforming our agricultural program with brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities. Remember to vote on Bond 3 in this election." There is no tax increase.

The upcoming $15 million ballot request this fall is for a brand-new Ag and Arts building. If approved by voters, this building will provide state-of-the-art technology, classrooms, labs, and shop spaces.

We've already broken ground on phase one of our growth, using a $2 million bond to construct a cutting-edge animal production and management facility.

These new facilities ensure local multi-generational ranching families have the top-tier technology and resources to thrive.

Visit our press release for more information.
