Officials say the expansion is needed to increase freight through New Mexico and make it easier for truckers to pass through.
New Mexico’s ports-of-entry along the U.S.-Mexico border have reported record traffic in recent years.
The commissioners will consider three resolutions for intergovernmental transfer of property from Luna County to the General Services Administration for the port expansion.
Also on Friday’s agenda is an amended job description for the Luna County manager’s position… and a resolution pertaining to joining the Coalition of Local Governments.
The special meeting is set to begin at 9 a.m. Friday in the commission chambers, located on the third floor of the Luna County Courthouse. The meeting will be open to the public.
