Incorporated in 1999, the Town of Edgewood is one of central New Mexico’s up-and-coming communities. Located less than 20 minutes on Interstate 40 from the state’s largest metropolitan area, Edgewood provides an attractive balance of amenities and atmosphere. The Town’s commercial zoning district, part of which is located along the longest remaining stretch of historic Route 66, is home to supermarkets, national drug store chains, several modern service stations, fast-food and full-service restaurants, banks, professional offices, dental and medical practices, automobile dealerships, and a variety of shops, lodging opportunities, and other businesses.
Edgewood’s close proximity to technology-oriented assets such as the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Sandia Laboratories Corridor (Sandia National Laboratories, Kirtland Air Force Base, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Sandia Technology Park) make it an ideal location for technology and professional services enterprises. The Sandia Laboratories Corridor employs over 20,000 high-tech professionals, of which 9% live in the Edgewood area. This has given the area an attractive flavor for technology-based ventures, as a 30-acre technology park is in the development stages for enterprises associated with high-speed communications and associated companies. State-of-the-art broadband options for internet access are available in Edgewood and throughout the entire surrounding area. Very reasonable property tax rates, the availability of substantial amounts of commercial real estate, and a focus on economic development combine to make it easy to bring your operation to Edgewood.
