ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Albuquerque s new Community Safety Department could soon have a physical home.
The city is in the final stage of planning for the department, which includes looking at acquiring a vacant lot near Katheryn and San Mateo.
The Kathryn Public Safety Center is one of a number of projects the mayor has in mind for the 2021 general obligation bonds. It calls for $7 million for the project.
The $140 million package would provide funding for numerous projects, and infrastructure improvements, including $9 million for renovating and expanding the Southeast Area Command. We’ve got to do things like plan for the future and invest in our communities and those things should never take a backseat just because we’re in a crisis, Keller said.
