Local and County Government
Eastern Sandoval Citizens Association (ES-CA)
Placitas is unincorporated and therefore has no local government. Because of this we are less likely to be informed about county and state actions that may impact our property values and environment. ES-CA was formed in 2010 to address the issue. This all volunteer citizens group serves as a watch dog and advocate for Placitas at both the county and state level. ES-CA regularly seeks the opinion of its members to form positions of action at all levels of government. Resident support is critical to the success of ES-CA so please join to stay involved and informed.
