Background Information

On March 4, 2008, voters in Rio Rancho passed by a 63 percent margin a higher education initiative that added a ¼ of one percent gross receipts tax increase.  With its passage, this initiative will generate funds to help the University of New Mexico with infrastructure and land improvements to build a University of New Mexico West campus in Rio Rancho’s downtown City Center on 200 acres of land the university already owns.
