Bernalillo County Commissioners will take a look at creating a Mountain View Neighborhood Sector Plan and look at accepting close to $1 million for an I-40 TradePort Corridor at their regular meeting set for 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5.
Items on the agenda include:
- Accepting funds to the tune of $974,000 from the US Department of Transportation Regional Infrastructure Accelerator Grant on behalf of the I-40 TradePort Corridor. The I-40 TradePort Corridor is meant to modernize the I-40 corridor from the Port of Los Angeles east. The goal is to ease the burden on the country’s largest ports and simplify the supply chain. The plan for the county is to build a fueling station for hydrogen and electric powered vehicles and to build warehouses for goods transported along I-40. This grant money will be used as seed money for development of the infrastructure project.
- A resolution encouraging the county manager — through the county’s Planning and Development Services — to collaborate with the City of Albuquerque, the state and federal agencies to develop a Sector Development Plan for the Mountain View Area. The Mountain View neighborhood area is a historic agricultural and residential neighborhood that has been the center of heavy industry in Bernalillo County since the 1970s. The area is located along Second and Broadway, south of Rio Bravo, on the east side of the river. It is home to three asphalt plants, numerous auto salvage and other heavy industry.
- Commissioners are set to do some shout-outs to employees of the Bernalillo County Animal Care Services, consider appointments to the DWI Planning Council and the Older Americans Advisory Council and amend the polling place resolution.
