Meta (formerly Facebook) opened its Los Lunas Data Center in 2019 and continues to expand rapidly. In January 2025, Meta announced a major new phase: the addition of two buildings on its 750-acre campus, part of an $800 million initiative to support next-generation AI technologies. Once fully built out, the facility is expected to support 350-400 permanent jobs and drive significant construction employment.
Meta has also committed to the region through investments in K-12 education, renewable energy, and water conservation. Notably, it recently signed a deal with XGS Energy for a 150 MW advanced geothermal project, set to begin operation by 2030, further enhancing the clean energy profile of the Los Lunas campus.
Overall, Valencia County combines low-cost land, strategic positioning near Albuquerque, rich outdoor amenities, and a major economic driver in the form of Meta's expanding data campus, backed by sustainable energy growth, offering a rare blend of affordability and growth potential in New Mexico!
In addition, the Cibola National Forest covers more than 1.6 million acres in New Mexico, with elevations ranging from 2,700 feet to over 11,300 feet.
