The Area
Valley Improvement Association continues to manage our 61,000 acres towards the east mountains in the Valencia County area. The management helps to maintain and protect lands of owners throughout the world.
VIA has worked with The University of New Mexico as well as the Belen and Los Lunas Schools to provide land to school sites in the area. With VIA's help, we have aided in bringing higher and primary education to students in Valencia County.

The brighter future of New Mexico
In Late 2018 and into 2019, PNM has built 2 new 100-acre solar collection sites in Rio Del Oro, this means good, clean energy is being generated in our back yards.
Public Service Company of New Mexico announced it will be Carbon Free by 2040, this equates into some very good news for people in New Mexico. The reliance on clean energy makes sense in New Mexico, with our vast abundance of sunshine, PNM understands that investing in solar energy makes sense. The reduction of coal powered plants is becoming a thing of the past, VIA supports the efforts of PNM.
