Mayor Michael Garcia, members of the Santa Fe City Council, and City staff will host a Southside Spanish-language community town hall on Tuesday, June 9, to provide updates on key projects, services, and initiatives affecting Southside neighborhoods and to hear directly from residents.
The town hall will take place from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center, 3221 Rodeo Road. The meeting will be conducted in both English and Spanish.
The event will begin with remarks from Mayor Garcia and attending City Council members, followed by a moderated question-and-answer session. Residents will have the opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and learn more about City projects, programs, and services.
Topics expected to be discussed include economic development, immigration-related policies, homelessness initiatives, neighborhood infrastructure improvements, parks and recreation projects, road improvements, and other issues of importance to Southside residents. City staff will also be available to assist residents with constituent service requests and connect them with appropriate City resources.
Representatives from the City's Economic Development Department will be available to answer questions regarding business development opportunities and economic initiatives on the Southside.
"The Southside is a vital part of our community, and these conversations are an important opportunity for residents to engage directly with City leadership," Garcia said. "We want to hear from our neighbors, share updates on projects and investments underway, and continue working together to build a stronger Santa Fe."
The City of Santa Fe continues to invest in Southside neighborhoods through infrastructure improvements, parks and public space enhancements, economic development initiatives, and programs designed to improve quality of life for residents and families.
All Southside residents and community members are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion.
