by Donna Gutierrez
ENMU-Roswell

For the third consecutive year, Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell has been awarded $100,000 to support a university-based economic development initiative. The funding was awarded through the University Centers Program of the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA). The program provides funding to colleges and universities throughout the country to assist local communities with various economic development projects. Each college receives approximately $100,000 in funding annually.

U.S. Senator Pete Domenici worked with New Mexico's congressional delegation to establish the University Centers Program at ENMU-Roswell. "Over the past three years, this economic development initiative has helped local businesses throughout Roswell and southeastern New Mexico grow," Domenici said. "Students enrolled in work-study programs at the university that are coupled with area businesses also benefit from a great learning experience involving economic development operations," he said.
