LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Tuesday, August 12, 2025) – The New Mexico State University (NMSU) Arrowhead Center and the Center for Border Economic Development (C-BED) have published a study on Spaceport America's economic impact on New Mexico from 2019 to 2024. The analysis looked at Spaceport America's operations not funded by the state and focused on tenant activities and out-of-state visitor spending related to the spaceport.
"Our impact study of Spaceport America utilized a standard methodology for economic impact analysis and is based on existing operations and activities that took place over a period of six years," explained Arrowhead Center program director and co-author of the report, Dr. Kramer Winingham. "The results are significant, showing that Spaceport America in 2024 supported 313 direct jobs and 790 total jobs in New Mexico, up from 242 direct jobs and 396 total jobs in 2019, while contributing nearly $240 million to economic output, up from $72 million in 2019.
