Community Development Update: 603 Mechem Drive Workforce Housing Project

The Village of Ruidoso is excited to announce the commencement of the latest addition to its workforce housing initiative with the launch of the 603 Mechem Drive project. Set against the picturesque Ruidoso landscape backdrop, this project epitomizes the Village's commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community.

The cornerstone of this endeavor is the construction of ten new homes thoughtfully designed to encapsulate the essence of neighborhood living. Featuring both 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom layouts, these modular homes seamlessly blend modern convenience with the timeless charm of traditional stick-built residences. From inviting porches to decorative fronts, each home at 603 Mechem Drive promises to offer residents the comforts of home in a welcoming environment.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance community infrastructure, the Village is spearheading several key developments to support the new housing units:

  1. Electric and Gas Lines: In collaboration with utility providers, the Village is undertaking the installation of state-of-the-art electric and gas lines. These upgrades cater to the needs of the new homes and bolster the overall energy infrastructure, ensuring reliability and efficiency for the entire community.

  2. Internet Connectivity: Recognizing the indispensable role of high-speed internet in today's digital landscape, the Village is partnering with leading internet service providers to deliver seamless connectivity to 603 Mechem Drive.

  3. Sewer and Water Lines: As part of our commitment to sustainability, the project includes the installation of modern sewer and water lines. These upgrades accommodate the expanded housing units and promote the efficient use of resources.

Over the coming months, residents can expect to witness significant activity at the project site, including tree removal, grading, construction of retaining walls, and the delivery of homes. We sincerely appreciate the community's patience and understanding during this transformative period.

The Village of Ruidoso remains steadfast in its dedication to building a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community. Together, we look forward to the completion of the 603 Mechem Drive workforce housing project and the countless memories it will inspire for generations to come.
