Questions abound about how Albuquerque should handle its growth. Developer incentives are one approach, but making it is both a complicated and important issue for the future of the Duke City. This topic, and the use of aliens to promote New Mexico tourism, are the issues featured on ‘New Mexico In Focus,’ on KNME Channel 5 on Friday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. and repeated on Sunday, Dec. 2 at 6:30 a.m.
This week’s guests are Gerry Bradley, researcher, NM Voices for Children; Michael Cadigan, Albuquerque city councilor; Chuck Gara, New Mexico chapter chairman, National Association of Industrial and Office Properties; Dan Serrano, vice president, Westside Coalition of Neighborhood Associations; and panelists Javier Benavidez, outreach director, Conservation Voters New Mexico; and Jeffry Gardner, columnist, The Albuquerque Tribune
