LOS LUNAS â The Los Lunas Village Council unanimously voted on May 6 to dissolve part of the LEDA fund created in 2016 for the Facebook Data Center.
According to Jill Sweeny, the villageâs bond attorney, two parts make up the entirety of the LEDA fund â one part being the $10 million grant awarded by the state for certain infrastructure in relation the data center and the other being an increment of the village gross receipts tax generated by the activity on site. Only the village portion of the LEDA fund will be dissolved.
âNow that five or six years have gone by, certain public infrastructure that was contemplated to be paid for by the local LEDA isnât needed, other public infrastructure is needed,â Sweeney told the council. âIn addition, the village and the company had agreed that the village will be the party that will contract and manage that gross receipts tax for that public infrastructure in the ordinary course.â

Citing downward trends in new COVID-19 cases, top administrators with some of the largest health care networks in New Mexico said Monday that visitation restrictions at some hospitals were being eased for non-coronavirus patients.
The officials said during an online briefing that the changes include longer visiting hours and in some cases, more than one person will be allowed in.
Still, they noted that while the daily case totals have been declining, the seven-day rolling average of infections in New Mexico remains higher now that it was last spring and summer. They urged people to continue wearing masks and to keep their distance from others.
