Welcome to Go Local Go Different!

Great trip visiting and working with MainStreet orgs across New Mexico - three towns, two states, lots of coffee.

During the trip we held a legacy planning session for business owners in Truth or Consequences, discussed a business and scenario planning project for the Cavern Theatre in Carlsbad, and kicked off a project with the Artesia Arts Council at the Ocotillo Performing Arts Center. Great work and great times!
