THE CITY OF SANTA FE
Santa Fe became the capital of the New Mexico province in 1610 and celebrated its 400th anniversary as the oldest capital city in the United States in 2009 and 2010. From ancient native civilizations to today's thriving Native American, Spanish, and modern American cultures, Santa Fe's trail through history has been marked by color, diversity, and significance.
Santa Fe has always embraced and preserved its past, leaving it rich in architecture, culture, and tradition for future generations. But it also is the City Different, embracing a vibrant contemporary community, and responded with great vision in purchasing the Railyard land and leading a years-long public process to redevelop it into a dynamic and unique new urban cultural and recreational center for all Santa Feans. The Santa Fe Railyard Community Corporation is honored to have been assigned the task of overseeing the realization of the ensuing Railyard Master Plan and managing its tenants and public spaces in collaboration with the City of Santa Fe.
THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) is a national, nonprofit, land conservation organization that conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, community gardens, historic sites, rural lands, and other natural places, ensuring livable communities for generations to come. Number one among its conservation initiatives is Parks for People: Working in cities and suburbs across America to ensure that everyone in particular, every child enjoys close-to-home access to a park, playground, or natural area.
That initiative is now a reality in Santa Fe with the leadership of TPL's Western Division in guiding the City's purchase of the Railyard land, creating a national design competition for the new 10-acre Park and ambitious and successful campaign raising $13 million to build it. The beautiful and innovative new public spaces of the Railyard Park, Plaza and Alameda are now enjoyed by every generation of Santa Fe's citizens, and the SFRCC looks forward to its ongoing collaboration with TPL as mutually supportive organizations with their respective roles regarding the thoughtful and creative care and ongoing development of this important major community resource.
