North Central New Mexico Economic Development District (NCNMEDD) is partnering with the State of New Mexico via its Infrastructure Planning and Development Division (IPDD) and rural/frontier Ombuds to provide emergency funding to Acequia de la Cañada Ancha which was impacted by catastrophic flooding in fall 2025.
