Tipping Point NM Episode 746: Spaceport economic analysis and “free” childcare w/ NMSU economist Chris Erickson

On this week’s interview Paul sits down with Professor Chris Erickson. Chris is an economics professor at New Mexico State University. Paul and Chris discuss (and debate) two big issues:
1) Chris’ economic impact study of Spaceport America which found that the Spaceport generated an impact of $240 million in 2024.

2) We discuss recent statements made by Erickson that Gov. Lujan Grisham’s “free” universal child care will have positive impacts on New Mexico’s economy.

We do conclude the conversation with a brief discussion of the Project Jupiter project which was recently approved for Southern New Mexico. You don’t want to miss this important conversation!
