Bracero site in Socorro City to receive national landmark plaque; unveiling scheduled at Rio Vista Community Center
A Bracero labor camp site in Socorro City will be recognized with a national historic landmark plaque, and an unveiling event is scheduled "tomorrow" at 6 p.m. at the Rio Vista Community Center, a resident said.

The resident said the site received a federal designation and that the plaque will be produced in both English and Spanish. "There'll be a special event for the unveiling of the first ever landmark plaque in The US, get this, with a federal designation in both English and Spanish," the resident said.

The speaker described plans to rehabilitate and transform the site's adobe buildings into a community hub and what they called the "first National Precedo History Museum." "With its national significance, officially recognized, the city of Socoto starts a new chapter in rehabilitating and transforming this landmark's historic adobe buildings into a vibrant community hub and the first National Precedo History Museum," the resident said.

Members of the public who commented also expressed optimism about local arts and markets at the site. "I can see so much potential with that place. You can see it's going to look gorgeous once they're done with everything," the resident said. Other remarks projected local artists and markets using the space once rehabilitation is complete.

The transcript did not provide a calendar date for "tomorrow," nor did it include a sponsoring agency, permit details, or funding sources for the rehabilitation. The announcement in the transcript was a public statement of the designation and the planned unveiling; no formal action, vote, or departmental directive appears in the provided record.
