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.

The Santa Rosa area is now on track to become a major renewable energy corridor in the State of New Mexico. In addition to wind turbines, an announcement in January 2010 by GA Solar-Gestamp proclaims our area will soon be home to the world's largest solar photovoltaic project. Our business-friendly approach and our efforts to support our present businesses and our open for business attitude 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 that run through Santa Rosa. We offer state of the art communications, DSL 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" program, a $1.5 million downtown renovation remodel of the historic Ilfeld/Johnson Warehouse, the Blue Hole Dive Training and Conference Center, 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.
