The City of Albuquerque and the State of New Mexico announced a property-swap between the two entities over the weekend, that will make way for both to build key pieces of infrastructure
“This piece of property is really key in that it can become a redevelopment area to provide some amenities and support for the Rail Trail itself as it gets developed. It was an area where we had some constraints between the track and the land available for the corridor. As a result of having this parcel of land, now we're able to fully develop the trail through there," said City of Albuquerque Chief Admin Officer Lawrence Rael.
