Transportation

Albuquerque is located in the heart of the Southwest, and its proximity to principal Western cities makes it an ideal location for transportation and distribution.

Tax Structure

Manufacturers and regional headquarters operations may now elect the Single Sales Factor, which can dramatically reduce their state income tax liability.These important tax measures come on top of action taken in 2013 by Governor Susana Martinez and the New Mexico Legislature, which approved a phase-in for the elimination of Gross Receipts Taxes on consumables used in the manufacturing process. In 2017, there will no longer be GRT imposed on electricity, water, industrial gases and other types of consumables.

Utilities

The area offers reliable electricity, natural gas, telecommunications and water at competitive pricing. With more than 310 days of annual sunshine, New Mexico is leading the charge in adopting renewable energy sources.
