MAYBE HIS PHONE WON'T BE RINGING QUITE AS MUCH. BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSIONER ART DE LA CRUZ IS AMONG THOSE WHO ARE EAGERLY ANTICIPATING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GROCERY STORE IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. HE SAYS HE GETS INQUIRIES FROM DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS ALL THE TIME, ASKING WHEN THE GROCERY STORE WILL FINALLY BE REALITY.
NOW THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSION HAS APPROVED THE BOND FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT, DE LA CRUZ SAYS HE EXPECTS GROUNDBREAKING TO HAPPEN IN JANUARY. THE STORE, ALONG WITH RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND RETAIL SHOPS, WILL BE BUILT AT SECOND AND SILVER SOUTHWEST.
