Why Incorporate?


A growing list of advantages to becoming our own Town:
  • Maximizing return from our tax dolars
  • Prevent more annexing by the CIty of Albuquerque
  • Choose our own types of development
  • Choose our own timing for development
  • Reducing barriers for local small businesses
  • Better cultivate our fertile land.
  • Support to develop innovative farming
  • Opportunities to develop agritourism
  • Better preserve our historical sites
  • Freedom to form village districts and their centers
  • Local issues decided by local people
  • More control over educational decisions
  • ... and many more

The South Valley

The South Valley is often defined as the southwest quadrant of Albuquerque. However the City of Albuquerque's boundaries are jagged and continue to grow by annexation. A South Valley Town would border the City of Albuquerque. Below in orange is the area that has been used for the economic feasibility study.








Who Are We?

We have made it our work to study the possibilities, discuss the challenges and opportunities, seek legal and economic expertise, and begin the process of Incorporating the South Valley. 
We call ourselves the Incorporation Advisory Group
We are a highly diverse, small group of passionate and active South Valley residents.  We believe that if we do not become our own municipality, we risk losing even more of our land as well as our culture to make way for sprawling city development.  No one in the group seeks personal political gain from becoming our own town. We all simply dream of a self-governed South Valley, preserving the agricultural, historic, and cultural character.
