Over the years with the Business Journal

New Mexico Business Journal, Nov, 1996 by George Hackler

We've attracted international companies and encouraged local businesses to expand and try new ventures by supporting fair, balanced taxes and tax incentives and by helping children become better educated, motivated workers. Our challenge is to continue progress through 2016, never forgetting that children, although only 28 percent of our population, are 100 percent of our future.

SHORTENING THE DISTANCE

The introduction and growth of the microelectronics industry (Intel, Motorola, Philips and others) have had a huge impact on economic development during the past 20 years.

The rapid advances in communications, computing, multimedia and the Internet will serve to overcome the distance factor in New Mexico and move the entire state forward economically in the future.
