New Mexico
Deserves Better.
A community-first initiative building smarter solutions for the people who actually live here — led by Roadrunner Technologies LLC.
Built in New Mexico.
Built for New Mexico.
Project NM is a Las Cruces-based initiative with one focus: building practical, community-driven solutions for the people who actually live here. We start with curiosity — connecting people to New Mexico's landscapes, ecosystems, and challenges through locally made Discovery artifacts and interactive digital experiences.
The bigger mission is real technology built locally — smart water systems, air quality sensors, conservation tools, and infrastructure owned by the communities that depend on it.

Discovery is where we start.
Building local solutions is where we're going.
Discovery builds awareness, education, and community. The larger mission is locally owned technology and infrastructure for New Mexico.
Five Phases
The Roadmap
Building this step by step, in public.
Merch drop, founding supporters, and early business partners join the movement. Identity becomes tangible — and the Discovery Initiative launches, connecting physical artifacts with interactive digital exploration of New Mexico.
Building Toward
What We're Building Toward
Real, practical solutions designed for New Mexico's environment, communities, and economy. Not off-the-shelf — built here, for here.
Smart Water Monitoring
Sensors and analytics that track usage and conservation in real time — built for our desert climate.
Air Quality Networks
Community-placed sensors that give residents real, local air quality data — not just regional averages.
Greywater & Rainwater Systems
Harvest and reuse water locally. Reduce waste, lower utility costs, and keep more water in NM.
Environmental Analytics
Carbon footprint calculators and data tools for local businesses, residents, and organizations.
Alternative Cooling Tech
Smarter cooling solutions for industrial facilities — using less water, less energy.
Community Infrastructure
Connecting local businesses, government, and residents around shared, practical solutions.
These roll out starting Phase 2. Right now we're building the community that makes it real.
The Context
Why New Mexico?
New Mexico is one of the most resource-constrained states in the country. That's not a weakness — it's a reason to build smarter from the start.
#1
Driest States
Water isn't just a resource here — it's everything. Any growth that ignores that is growth that won't last.
46th
Median Income
Solutions built here need to be practical, affordable, and owned by the people using them — not sold back to us.
Local
First. Always.
Every dollar spent on outside vendors is a dollar that leaves New Mexico. Local talent and local ownership produce better outcomes.
Project NM isn't reacting to problems — it's getting ahead of them. By building community-owned infrastructure, open data systems, and local technical capacity now, New Mexico can grow on its own terms — terms set by the people who actually live here.
