Mayor's message

Welcome to Santa Rosa, the Oasis on Route 66 and Jewel of New Mexico. Santa Rosa is a beautiful small city with great recreational facilities; home of the Blue Hole, an artesian, bell-shaped lake, crystal clear blue water, crisp 61 degrees year round and 91' feet deep. Santa Rosa has the best selection of fishing, boating, scuba diving, softball, outdoor summer activities and wind surfing in New Mexico and soon will have the largest waterslides in the state.

Our business-friendly approach and our efforts to support our present businesses and our open arm policy to new future employers to our community make Santa Rosa, The City of Natural Lakes, a great place for business. We have 2 major fiber optics intra-state lines through Santa Rosa. We offer state of the art communications, DSL, T-1 Lines at request. Our schools were the first school district in the state to offer the Internet from K-12. Our educational facilities are also some of the best in the State. Our schools have continually met our AYP and our national scores continue to rise.

Our future construction of a new $21 million dollar hospital and clinic will meet and exceed our health care needs. Our exciting "Moving Santa Rosa Forward" a $1.5 million downtown renovation remodel of the historic Ilfeld/Johnson Warehouse, a Convention Center, a Dive Training Center, a new Softball Complex, relocation of City Hall as adaptive re-use in a historic building, doubling as a community center, we believe, is an aggressive business and cultural approach to create a community of opportunity for Santa Rosa’s future.
