ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — People are out, businesses are open, but the recovery is just getting started.
"We are seeing some very, very positive momentum with respect to downtown," Mayor Tim Keller said.
Keller wants downtown to be a place people want to be. He said that starts with addressing one of the biggest community concerns – crime.
"Being downtown and being visible, having a place people can walk right up to file a police report or ask for services or assistance, that's going to make us that much more effective," Albuquerque Police Department Officer Hence Williams said.
APD will have a new downtown police station filling an empty space at the Rosenwald Building at Fourth and Central, which is an upgrade from its current post at the transit center.
