WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE? THAT'S THE QUESTION ON THE MINDS OF NEW MEXICO'S POLITICAL LEADERS AS THEY CONSIDER WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ATTRACT ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY TESLA TO THE STATE. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SECRETARY JON BARELA SAYS CHANGES IN THE STATE'S TAX STRUCTURE ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN DISCUSSING JOB CREATION.
BUT HE ALSO TELLS US HE CAN'T REVEAL MUCH MORE ON WHAT THE STATE IS DOING IN AN EFFORT TO LURE TESLA TO NEW MEXICO.
TESLA IS LOOKING AT FOUR STATES, INCLUDING NEW MEXICO, AS IT DECIDES WHERE TO BUILD A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR FACILITY TO MANUFACTURE BATTERIES. THE PROJECT COULD ATTRACT 65-HUNDRED JOBS.
