DEMING – Major road improvements are on the way for Deming after the City Council approved an ordinance to sell $2.5 million in General Obligation Bonds. The bond sale, approved by the New Mexico Finance Authority, marks a crucial step in funding street repairs across the city.
The bonds closed on February 14, allowing work to begin on long-awaited infrastructure upgrades. This funding is part of the $5 million that Deming voters approved in the November 2022 election.
City officials, including Mayor Michele “Micki” Shillito, City Manager Aaron Sera, City Clerk Mary Jo Valdez, and Attorney Linda Melendres, recently signed final closing documents to move the project forward.
Officials say the improvements will enhance roads throughout the city, contributing to growth and development. Stay tuned for updates on when and where repairs will begin.
