Consider this: Doņa Ana County is located at the confluence of two major interstate highways, I-10 and I-25, in the heart of the Sun Belt, making it perfect for future growth. It also borders the Republic of Mexico with a new and growing commercial Port of Entry in the southern part of the county at Santa Teresa. Believe me, NAFTA is working in this part of the country. Additionally, the population of Doņa Ana county has increased by 50% from 141,228 in 1991 to 221,508 in 2021. It is estimated that the county population will reach 230,000 by the year 2030! Combine that fact with the fact that only 13-17 percent of the total land in the county is privately owned!! The rest is controlled by government entities, such as the Bureau of Land Management.
