Objects and funding The object of HCIA is to promote and facilitate the development of the Horizon area. The association is funded primarily from assessments paid by its members. Cities with a future The Horizon City idea began in the late 1950's but early growth was slow. The area is now benefiting from the continued expansion of neighboring El Paso. As it grows, it will become increasingly self-sufficient.
Land remains relatively inexpensive, for the time being.
The area now has an excellent local water supply and long-term reserves are assured. El Paso in contrast is running out of water and will have to pay more to maintain supply. We have clean air here. The dark haze we see hanging over El Paso and Juarez is largely confined to the valley areas, leaving our high desert clear. Horizon township boasts excellent amenities for its size, including a golf course and country club, brand new schools and good roads.
