Last week, John Muñoz, President of the Board of Directors for Downtown Las Cruces Partnership (DLCP), and new Executive Director Liana Angrisani joined KC Counts at KRWG radio for an engaging conversation about the future of downtown. The interview highlighted DLCP’s mission to grow the local economy, celebrate culture, and support small businesses. Muñoz and Angrisani explained how DLCP, a nonprofit and New Mexico MainStreet affiliate, brings people together to create a more vibrant, connected downtown.
They emphasized the importance of community partnerships—between business owners, residents, and city officials—since these relationships drive revitalization and strengthen the district. Angrisani also shared her goals as executive director, expressing her passion for public engagement and small business development. The duo highlighted how events energize downtown. Weekly traditions like the Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces, art walks, and seasonal celebrations such as Zombie Walk and The Chile Drop attract crowds and foster community spirit. These events support local businesses, draw visitors, and instill pride.
The team invited listeners to get involved. Whether by sponsoring events, volunteering, or shopping locally, every action makes a difference. The KRWG interview is just one way DLCP broadens its reach and shares its vision. To stay informed, follow DLCP on social media or visit our website. Big things are happening downtown—and we want you to be part of it.
Keep an ear out for the full interview airing soon on KRWG.
