Creativity and inspiration are part of Santa Fe’s identity—from archi- tecture and design to world-class dining and galleries, to views of serene mountains and endless skies. Santa Fe is a city that takes great pride in its past while also looking toward the future. The historic Plaza is among our most popular attrac- tions, but I hope you will also visit our new, green, state-of-the-art Santa Fe Community Convention Center and the recently redeveloped 50-acre Railyard Park and Plaza. Hiking, biking, and skiing top the list of outdoor activities to enjoy, depending on the season. And, of course, no visit to Santa Fe is complete without a taste of our spicy Northern New Mexican cuisine. Finally, I hope you’ll see that Santa Fe is not only a wonderful place DOUGLAS MERRIAM to visit; it’s also a great place to live. Santa Fe is proud to be a national leader in the Living Wage movement and affordable housing—both progressive and meaningful efforts that enable our families to live, not just work, in Santa Fe. We are promoting local businesses, well-paying jobs, and workforce development, while also striving to make Santa Fe the alternative-energy capital of the country and supporting our premier arts community. As you take in the sights, sounds, and tastes of our 400-year-old community, you will see why Santa Fe frequently tops lists of the country’s healthiest cities, best places to live, and top travel destinations.
