THERE’S CURRENTLY A PARKING LOT THAT SITS ON TWO ACRES BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH STREETS AND MARQUETTE AND ROMA IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. NOW, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT’S CARMELINA HART SAYS CITY HALL WANTS SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO TRANSFORM THAT PROPERTY TO BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. SHE SAYS THE GOAL IS TO REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE.
THE CITY HAS NOW ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. HART SAYS POSSIBLE IDEAS INCLUDE OFFICE SPACE, RETAIL, RESTAURANTS…EVEN A MUSEUM OR PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
