$1,109,075 has been wired to Alamogordo. Where is it going?
Every month, New Mexico distributes a third of the cannabis excise tax collected inside each city back to that city’s government — unrestricted, straight into the general fund. These are the state’s own records of what Alamogordo (local) has received: rank #13 of 93 NM local governments · $35 per resident · $53.0M in local cannabis sales since 2022. What it gets spent on is decided in this town’s chambers — which is why this page lives in its Town Square.
