The New Mexico Partnership started off
the new year with three amazing announcements—
all in rural New Mexico.
"These 3 rural announcements are great
examples of what it takes to win a project
in challenging economic times. All 3 of
these projects took more than a year to
complete. It took patience, follow through,
diligence and a healthy team to keep moving
things forward," stated Clark Krause,
President & CEO of the New Mexico Partnership,
"I would especially like to thank
Governor Richardson, the New Mexico
Legislature, EDD Secretary Mondragon,
and the NM Partnership Chairman, Raymond
Mondragon for continuing to support
and work toward job growth in New Mexico."

On entering the modern, eco-designed foyer of Hewlett-Packard Company,
complete with recycled wood paneling, tons of natural lighting, and open floor plans leading off into
the distance, it is hard to imagine that one year ago, New Mexican wildlife took refuge under wild
sagebrush where a glass-lined conference room now sits, its door invitingly cracked open.

As New Mexico rapidly becomes a
global leader in pure energy innovation,
we continue to draw international attention
to the Land of Enchantment. The
New Mexico Partnership has taken actions
and adopted substantive policy
measures to stimulate development of
solar power projects throughout the state.
Those initiatives as well as an aggressive
business recruiting strategy have effectively
positioned the state as a focal point
for this rapidly emerging industry.

In our ongoing
mission to create
jobs and
boost New Mexico’s
fastgrowing
clean
energy sector,
the New Mexico
Partnership exhibited
at the PV
America Conference
and Exhibition
in Philadelphia during June 8-10.
This was our first time attending PV
America. On the first day at the booth,
we quickly found that New Mexico was
being well represented with companies
such as Emcore and SCHOTT Solar exhibiting
and representatives from Sandia
National Laboratories in attendance.
We formed a New Mexico coalition and
worked together to help market the
state during our three days at the show.

first-phase. The 200,000 square-foot
facility represents an initial investment of
over $100 million USD in the Albuquerque
region from the global SCHOTT Solar
group. SCHOTT has created 350 jobs at
the new facility, which will continue to
ramp up production throughout the summer.
