New Mexico is traditionally competitive in attracting entrepreneurs and small businesses, and has developed programs to entice organizations both large and small to locate – or relocate - in the Land of Enchantment. State and local governments have worked together to open avenues for economic development: provisions for tax incentives and programs for economic growth are widely available to attract new businesses and investors to this region.
