ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A new lease agreement between Albuquerque and the State Land Office means the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired will be expanding.
Albuquerque City Council approves United stadium plans
Following a unanimous vote at Monday’s city council meeting the city approved the agreement to sub-lease a more than two acre piece of state trust land to the school. The property will expand the campus on Eubank and Innovation Pkwy., making improvements to the bus drop-off area, adding a new cafeteria, adding additional parking, adding new playground equipment and more.
“Enhancing the facilities at NMSBVI will not only improve the daily experience for students but also provide a lasting benefit to our entire community,” said Economic Development Director Max Gruner in a release. The project will have no fiscal impact on the city. The lease will cost the school more than $8,000 per year.
