INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMING TO THE ALBUQUERQUE’S INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT, THANKS TO SOME FEDERAL MONEY. THOSE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE BETTER ROADS AND SIDEWALKS…AND NEW STREET LIGHTS. CITY COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS SAYS THERE ARE SPECIAL CHALLENGES IN THIS PART OF THE CITY: IT’S A HIGH CRIME AREA, WHERE PEOPLE WORK TWO AND THREE JOBS AND STILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET … AND IT’S AN AREA WHERE STUDENTS NEED MORE HELP TO BE READY FOR SCHOOL.
THE GRANT TOTALS THREE AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS. THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE IN THE TRUMBULL VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD.
