Ralph L. Mims, MCP
Economic Development Manager
Originally from the Bronx, New York, Ralph moved to New Mexico in 1995 to relocate to an environment that has open space, blue skies, less people and an opportunity to apply his skills as a City Planner and Economic Developer to the fastest growing city in the State of New Mexico. He is currently the Economic Development Manager for the Village of Los Lunas. Ralph loves Los Lunas due to its pro business development attitude and its rapid economic and residential growth in the past ten years. The Village of Los Lunas has a proactive economic development attitude and welcomes sensible development.
Ralph envisions great potential for Los Lunas, based on its community branding tagline “Small Community Big Possibilities!” His goal is to attract well-paying businesses to Los Lunas and retain and expand the existing businesses. Due to Los Lunas close proximity to Albuquerque, it is poised for future economic and residential growth. Ralph holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University and a Master’s Degree from Howard University in City Planning. He is a resident of Los Lunas since 1996.
