There are so many reasons we prefer to live, play, and work in Farmington, New Mexico! A community of our size, roughly 45,000 people, offers the best of both worlds. Small enough for that small-town feel but large enough to have the amenities and opportunities of a much larger city. When it comes to our workforce and career possibilities Farmington offers unique resources and an abundance of opportunities. Top that off with our vast selection of recreational activities, fascinating history, cultural diversity, and bustling sense of community - and Farmington is obviously an ideal location to lay roots down in and grow your career and or business!
The Work Farmington Committee has curated a list of events and opportunities to help you discover the many resources our community has to offer. To learn more about Work Farmington, submit information, or get involved contact Melissa Porch, with Connect Space, or Alyssa Begay, Bluehorse Realty.
