Emerging Technology Ventures (ETV) is pleased to announce a $500,000 award by the State of New Mexico and City of Alamogordo to support the acquisition and renovation of its La Velle Road facility. The award was made under provisions of the New Mexico Local Economic Development Act. In consideration for the funding, ETV will create twenty-four jobs in Alamogordo to support the design, development, and manufacture of unmanned ground vehicles for national security and commercial applications.
The agreement represents an essential element of ETV’s public-private partnership strategy to develop high-growth companies in the unmanned systems sector and sustainable technology-based economic growth in communities like Alamogordo.
