Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Alamogordo public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Sunspot Solar Observatory preservation
Resolution 2026-30 would put the city on record backing a pause to the proposed demolition of the Sunspot Observatory, a scientific landmark in the Sacramento Mountains. The resolution itself is symbolic, but it signals the city's stance on a site many residents care about.
Flood Control Project
Alamogordo just finished the McKinley Channel flood control project with the Army Corps of Engineers. The goal is straightforward: better flood protection for parts of the city that deal with stormwater risk. It’s a public-infrastructure win, though the source doesn’t include cost or maintenance details.
