New Mexico Land in Santa Teresa To Be Sold in September


Associated Press
      SANTA FE — New Mexico Public Lands Commissioner Patrick Lyons says 2,220 acres of state trust land in Dona Ana County will be sold in September to create a commercial and industrial zone in Santa Teresa.
    Lyons said in a news release Wednesday that Union Pacific railroad has identified an area where it will build a train-to-truck transfer facility near the U.S.-Mexico border.
    Lyons said Union Pacific intends to bid on the state trust property during a live auction.
    The state is getting more than 1,800 acres from the federal Bureau of Land Management in exchange for nearly 10,000 acres of state land in Chaves and Dona Ana counties.
    The Land Office already owns the remaining 380 acres in Santa Teresa. It also will obtain 320 acres on Las Cruces' west side in the exchange.
