Opinion: New Mexico's rural communities could lead its space economy
Original: OPINION: New Mexico’s next economic frontier is space — and rural communities can lead
An opinion piece in the Albuquerque Journal argues that New Mexico's next economic frontier is the space industry, and that rural communities across the state are well positioned to lead in it. The column frames space as an opportunity to broaden an economy long dependent on oil and gas and federal labs, urging investment in rural workforce and infrastructure so the benefits reach beyond Albuquerque and Las Cruces.
Why now: It taps ongoing debate about diversifying New Mexico's economy and the state's growing role in the commercial space industry.
