Westside Vision for 2100 UNM Outreach Event Coming Up This Thursday

Posted on by

The UNM Community and Regional Planning Department Graduate Program is hosting a launch event for its Westside Vision for 2100 Capstone Project and the public is invited to attend! The Project intends to develop a vision for growth on Albuquerque’s West Side for the next 80 years, specifically in the region north of Central and I-40 up to the Sandoval County line, and from Coors to the Rio Puerco. This area of the City is expected to absorb the majority of Bernalillo County’s growth in the coming years, and this growth may encompass areas such as economic development, transportation, open space networks, and overall quality of life.

The launch event will take place Thursday, March 7 at the Ladera Golf Course. There is a survey that residents can take by scanning the QR codes in the header above. For more information, send an e-mail to: westsidevision2100@gmail.com
