Mayor Keller Invites You to Constructive Conversations

Posted on by

Hello Albuquerque,

I’d like to invite you to join me and your City Councilor for “Constructive Conversations,” a new series of community meetings to foster dialogue as we work together to shape the future of the built environment in Albuquerque. Throughout the month of May, we are hosting these meetings in each City Council district to talk about infrastructure, placemaking, and the projects that improve quality of life for our families.

Please come to your district’s meeting and share your ideas and priorities for building projects in your area. These events are free and open to the public, and RSVP is required. If you are unable to attend in person, I encourage you to submit your comments and questions in our suggestion box. Check out the meeting schedule below. 

Together, we can move Albuquerque forward. I hope to see you soon. 

Sincerely, 

Mayor Tim Keller
