Awareness

Fair

The  Annual Community Awareness Fair in 2009 was a tremendous success thanks to many tireless volunteers!

Memories from this community pride event will be posted soon.

The rural communities of Anthony and Berino New Mexico offer the comfortable feel of historic with quiet evenings, beautiful sunsets and a community life that is pleasant and friendly.  Great scenic views of mountainous desert, pecan orchards, horse ranches and cotton fields can be enjoyed on a pleasant afternoon’s drive or on your way home from work. Yet the rich cultural amenities of a metro area such as opera, theater, concerts and nightlife are within a 20 minute drive.

 

Anthony, NM is located on the New Mexico/Texas state line in the Upper Mesilla Valley.  Interstate 10 runs north and south through Anthony, with    I-25/I-10 Junction lying approximately 20 miles north.

Anthony has long been the gateway of trade routes in the Southwest.   The Butterfield Trail passed just north of Anthony and the Camino Real Trade Route from Mexico City passed directly through the community.  Today, Burlington Northern Santa Fe runs through the community and with the Mexican Border located 25 miles south Anthony is the perfect location for companies who are interested in nationwide or international trade.

The potential for economic growth in the Anthony-Berino area is possible because of its location, easy access to the interstate, proximity to the international ports of entry, the availability of land and industrial parks, and more importantly because of the community itself.  The bi-lingual workforce in our community consists of dedicated community members.

A variety of factors produce an attractive environment for development in the Anthony-Berino corridor:

 

LOGISTICS ADVANTAGE: Anthony is on one of the busiest I-10 corridors in the southwest, with traffic flowing east and west on I-10, south into Mexico and north to I-25. It is 30 minutes from the El Paso International Airport, a facility already used for moving international industrial cargo.

 

DEFENSE ADVANTAGE: Anthony is in close proximity to both Fort Bliss, White Sands Missile

Range and NASA related projects in Las Cruces. These facilities use substantial contracting for services, testing and evaluation in their various missions and projects. Anthony is 20 minutes from New Mexico State University, which is engaged in substantial research and development for the Department of Defense.

 

Anthony is a federally designated HUB-Zone.  Businesses located within these zones have added contractual advantages when dealing with the federal government.

 

LABOR ADVANTAGE: Anthony is located midway between the New Mexico and El Paso labor force.  Commuting is not an issue for labor. Housing is readily available and affordable. Anthony also has an established branch of the Doña Ana Branch Community College, which has its strength in vocational training relevant to area industry.
