The Q1 Report reflects a strong start to the year for the Albuquerque Regional Economic Alliance and the greater Albuquerque region. During the first quarter, AREA advanced targeted business recruitment efforts, deepened engagement with key industry sectors including aerospace and advanced manufacturing, hosted strategic events to elevate regional momentum, and strengthened partnerships at both the state and national levels. These efforts were supported by continued collaboration with public and private-sector partners and a focused commitment to talent development, site readiness, and competitive positioning. Together, our first-quarter progress sets a solid foundation for sustained growth and opportunity throughout the year.
