Albuquerque Local Pulse: Safety Concerns, Tax Breaks, and Track Championship
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, February 28.
We start with breaking news from overnight. Albuquerque Police responded to a shooting in the 200 block of Espanola Street NE in the War Zone before 10 PM last night, where they found a man injured. Earlier, around 7 PM, another shooting call came from the 2800 block of Palo Verde Drive NE, and just before noon yesterday, shots rang out behind the old Allsups near Zuni Road SE and Indiana Street SE. We urge our listeners to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.
Shifting to city hall updates, Bernalillo County Commissioners just approved a game-changing resolution requiring companies seeking tax breaks, like Industrial Revenue Bonds, to prove community benefits through local hiring, small business support, and environmental protections. Sponsored by Commissioner Barbara Baca, it includes a Community Benefits Fund with at least 5 percent of tax savings going to workforce training. This means millions in incentives will now directly boost our daily lives.
Over at the Convention Center, the Lone Star Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship wraps up today, drawing hundreds of NCAA athletes and fans downtown. Perfect timing with our mild weather, sunny skies and highs near 55 degrees, though a chilly breeze off the Sandias might nip at early events. Expect clear conditions through evening, great for outdoor plans.
In feel-good news, we celebrated four retired APD K-9 heroes this week with new signs at city parks. Gino got his spot at Wells Park, Jopy at Tom Bolack Dog Park, Lex at Canine Skyline, and Diesel at Santa Fe Village Dog Park. Mayor Tim Keller called them family assets to our safety, honoring their busts in bank robberies and felony cases.
New business activity is steady, with that county policy sparking developer buzz around local jobs, up about 2 percent this month per recent reports. Real estate sees median home prices holding at around 320,000 dollars amid steady demand near I-40.
Quick sports note, local schools report solid wins, and UNM hosts Lubbock Christian womens tennis this afternoon at McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium. Community events ahead include K-9 nomination drives at parks and track festivities downtown through tonight.
