GET READY FOR ALBUQUERQUE’S RAIL YARDS TO BEGIN REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS. NOW THAT IT’S BEEN NAMED AS PART OF ALBUQUERQUE’S “PLACE MAKING ” ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENDA, THE REDEVELOPMENT CAN BEGIN. IT’S A TOPIC MAYOR TIM KELLER HAS MENTIONED MORE THAN ONCE.
THE CITY HAS SINCE THEN TERMINATED ITS CONTRACT WITH SAMITAUR CONSTRUCTS. THAT’S THE OUT-OF-STATE DEVELOPER WHO FAILED TO COMPLETE THE TASK FOR REVITALIZING THE RAIL YARD AREA.
KELLER SAYS THE CITY WANTS TO WORK ON A VISION FOR THE RAIL YARDS WITH THE BARELAS NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
