The Center for Border Economic Development (C-BED) is in a unique position to marshal resources from across New Mexico State University (NMSU) to promote business expansion and economic development in communities along the U.S.-Mexico border. An important collaborator in our efforts is Arrowhead Center. Our mission and that of Arrowhead complement each other, and this has resulted in a productive partnership. C-BED seeks to complement existing development efforts along the border by working closely with businesses, governments, NGOs, and other border stakeholders to identify impediments to economic development and to propose solutions to overcome those impediments. Many of the studies conducted since C-BED's founding in 2021 involve economic impact and infrastructure projects, including a study for the Border Task Force on the Paso del Norte Region and an economic impact study of the Santa Teresa Port of Entry and Santa Teresa industrial parks

Whether it's a global financial crisis, a trade war or a military war, the S&P 500 so far always recouped its losses to push toward more records.

Armed with data that says Spaceport America is boosting New Mexico’s economy, supporters say the debate about whether to continue funding the project should be over. But even the new economic impact study, which shows the spaceport bringing in tens of millions of tax dollars for government and creating hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity per year, appears unlikely to satisfy the spaceport’s biggest critics.
