The city of Las Cruces and Las Cruces Fire marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking of Fire Station 9 on the city’s East Mesa, the city said in a Facebook post. This $9.4 million project, funded through the 2022 General Obligation Bond, will serve the fast-growing neighborhoods north of Highway 70.
Mandy Guss, Director of Communications, spoke on behalf of Mayor Eric Enriquez, alongside District 5 Councilor Becky Corran and Fire Chief Jason Smith, who highlighted the importance of this new station. Fire Station 9 will help meet the needs of the rapidly expanding community, with hundreds of new homes and businesses developed in the area.
Construction of the 12,000-square-foot Fire Station 9 will begin in September. Completion of the project is anticipated in early 2026.
