Bienvenidos a Socorro. We're in the heart of El Paso County, just 20 minutes east of Downtown El Paso, Texas. And the perfect place to park your family, business, or your car for a walk through one of the oldest mission in the U.S. More than 30,000 residents already call Socorro home, and more and more businesses already have an address in one of the fastest growing cities in the Southwest. It's a great day to be from Socorro!

We worked hard to get the Postal Service to realize their value to our community and even if it’s a few hours less a week we’ll have the post office open in the City of Socorro.” Willie Madrid-City Council Representative at Large, City of Socorro. Some of the 4,000 full-time employees including those in the City of Socorro will see their hours reduced to part-time, but will retain their benefits. However, post offices that will be impacted by the plan account for less than one-eighth of the 5 billion dollars the Post Office spends each year on operating post offices. “The post office in the City of Socorro was one of 800 post offices to be closed under the plan they announced last summer, since then our community has stepped up, signing petitions and even rallying with lawmakers in front of the Post Office on North Loop in the City of Socorro.”-Gloria Rodriguez, City Council District 2 Representative, City of Socorro Even though many post offices will have vastly reduced operating hours, people will still be able to access their P.O. boxes all day. More details are expected in the next few days. Our Park will open this summer!The Playgrounds are going up and the retention pond is taking shape. In other words “it’s beginning to look like Bull Dog Championship Park!” Progress is moving along on Bufford as the City of Socorro’s premier park is still set for a summer opening. Las areas de juegos se estan construyendo y lo que era un estanque esta tomando forma. En otras palabras, se esta empezando a parecer a lo que sera el Bull Dog Championships Park! Los avances estan llegando hacia Bufford, asi como la inaguracion del parque Premier de la Ciudad de Socorro que sigue estando programada para el verano.
