Projects

Here's just a small sampling of what we’ve accomplished so far.

A group of community members and candidates gathered at the 2024 Strong Towns Artesia City Council Candidate Forum, discussing key issues facing the city and engaging with voters.

2024 Strong Towns Artesia City Council Candidate Forum

In 2024, we hosted a forum for candidates running for the Artesia City Council, bringing together voters and candidates to discuss critical issues facing our community.

Our goal was to ensure that residents have the information they need to make informed decisions and to encourage a more engaged and transparent local election process.

Monthly Community Cleanups

Each month, Strong Towns Artesia organizes community cleanups, bringing together neighbors to take pride in our city. By collecting litter, reporting graffiti, and tackling eyesores, we help keep Artesia clean and beautiful for everyone.

These events not only make a direct impact on the physical environment but also build stronger, more connected neighborhoods.

Artesia Park Birdhouses

Strong Towns Artesia is working to enhance Artesia Park with a special birdhouse project aimed at supporting local wildlife. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve installed the first three birdhouses, with three more on the way.

Sponsored by the local community and residents, including Linda Gonzalez, Bob & Yelitza Greene, Lorelei & Lindsey Bailey, The Manalo Family, Rene Trevino, and The Ahir Family, these birdhouses are selected with sustainability, safety of the birds, and ease of maintenance in mind.
