THE SANTOLINA MASTER PLAN WILL STAY ON SCHEDULE IN BERNALILLO COUNTY. THE COUNTY COMMISSION TUESDAY NIGHT REJECTED A PROPOSAL FROM COMMISSIONER DEBBIE O’MALLEY TO DELAY THE 22-SQUARE MILE DEVELOPMENT FOR 90 DAYS TO SCHEDULE MORE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR CITIZENS.
BUT THE COMMISSION VOTED 3-TO-2 AGAINST IT. THE “NO” VOTES WERE FROM ART DE LA CRUZ, LONNIE TALBERT, AND WAYNE JOHNSON.
THE SANTOLINA MASTER PLAN IS DESIGNED FOR A NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CITY’S FAR WEST SIDE AND IS THE BIGGEST SUCH PLAN FOR THE COUNTY. SOME RESIDENTS SAY THE COUNTY CANNOT SUPPORT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH CURRENT RESOURCES.
