City of Albuquerque announces Constructive Conversations (Updated)

Constructive Conversations is a series of meetings designed to bring community members like you together with city leaders to discuss shaping the future of development in Albuquerque.

This series aims to bridge the gap between community aspirations and funding realities, focusing on potential investments that can enhance our city’s infrastructure, quality of life, and sustainability. Each session in the series will explore city development in a particular Council district. Depending on the needs of the neighborhoods, these projects could include infrastructure, buildings, transportation, green spaces, cultural landmarks, and more.

The meeting for District 4 was hosted by Mayor Keller and City Councilor Bassan  on Wednesday, May 22nd from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center after the invitation was extended to area residence through neighborhood sites like this one. The meeting was fairly well attended and not surprisingly one of the major areas of interest was the North Domingo Baca Aquatic Center. See the attached copy of the handouts that were available at the meeting.
