PLANS ARE MOVING AHEAD FOR A NEW HOTEL ON CENTRAL AVENUE BETWEEN DOWNTOWN AND UNM. CARMELINA HART WITH ALBUQUERQUE’S PLANNING DEPARTMENT SAYS THE CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A METROPOLITAN REDEVELOPMENT BOND FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A HOTEL ACROSS FROM PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL. SHE SAYS ONE FLOOR WILL GO TO THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE WITH A SKY BRIDGE SO THEY CAN WALK ACROSS TO THE HOSPITAL.
HART SAYS IT’S A BOOST IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR AN AREA OF THE CITY THAT’S BEEN PLAGUED BY BLIGHT IN RECENT YEARS.
