04WHERE THE WEST SIDE ISGOING, IT WILL NEED ROADSBy Dane Vaughn, The Built Environment04/10/2024BUILTENVIRONMENTSeveral projects are laying the groundwork for a new horizon as Albuquerque’s builtenvironment continues to spill westward. Last week, Bernalillo County announced that $4 million in federal funding will be poured intothe reconstruction and expansion of a road that links two ends of the city, Atrisco VistaBoulevard. According to a press release from the county, Sen. Martin Heinrich and Rep. Gabe Vasquezsecured the federal funds via Community Project Funding requests for the U.S. senate’sfiscal year 2024.This allocation was the second highest request amount for the state of New Mexico and thehighest request from Heinrich designated under Highway Infrastructure Programs.The current state of Atrisco Vista Boulevard on the west end of the City of Albuquerque.

Heinrich and Vasquez’s push for the fundingwas driven by the development momentumof the city’s west side. “That's why I’m proud to have teamed upwith Congressman Gabe Vasquez to secure$4 million to reconstruct Atrisco VistaBoulevard near Double Eagle Airport,improving the commute for local workersand expanding employment opportunitieson the Westside," Heinrich said in therelease. $4.3 million, the largest amount requestedby Heinrich, will be allocated to watersystem improvements in Truth orConsequences. Atrisco Vista Boulevard, once named Paseodel Volcan before the Department ofTransportation finished installing newsignage in 2011, is being designed to include12-foot driving lanes, 6-foot bike lanes, amulti-use trail and clearance for anexpanded four-lane section. A design study conducted in 2019 byParametrix in collaboration with the cityand county estimated that the project, a2.35 mile link between Double Eagle II Roadto Paseo Del Norte, would cost $11 million. That estimate has now extended to nearly$12 million.“These funds will be added to existingfederal and state funds to complete the$11.8 million project which is a priority forboth safety and an emerging economicdevelopment corridor on the Westside,”said Bernalillo County Manager JulieMorgas Baca in the release. Just as this portion of the funding wasannounced, a 60-acre ground leaseagreement was approved by the city councilthat would set the stage for new filmproduction facilities to be built near theupdated road.

According to a city press release, theunanimous approval of EC-2494 by the citycouncil will now give Mesa Media Holdingsthe cue to use an estimated $57 million incapital investment for studios, sound stagesand ancillary facilities on the proximal land. Mesa Film Studios, a Mesa Media Holdingscompany, will pursue both a groudbreakingfor this summer and to become the state’snext film partner for expanded tax credits,reported Albuquerque Business First. To the benefit of those future studios, aswell as future and current residents of thearea, $1.6 million was awarded toAlbuquerque’s MWI Incorporated for a fiberoptic installation project as of April 5th,2024. Installation of the internet infrastructurewill be along Atrisco Vista Boulevardstarting from Central Avenue to LaderaDrive, according to a vicinity map obtainedby The Built Environment.This fiber optic expansion project was firstcancelled in January of 2024 due to areported funding shortfall. According to themost recent wage decision approvalsummary by the New Mexico Departmentof Workforce Solutions for the project,there are currently $1.2 million federalfunds involved. That same $1.2 million was listed in theprevious wage decision approval when itoriginally bid.As new federal funding is now to becontributed to connecting the west side tothe internet, a group of graduate students atthe University of New Mexico are lookingfor input to process the area’s future. Westside Vision for 2100, as reported bythe UNM Newsroom, is a communityoutreach project from the university’sschool of architecture and planningdepartment. 06BUILTENVIRONMENTFunding from state Sen. Moe Maestas isassisting the team in planning communityevents to elicit public comment from west-siders about the area’s future development.“The Westside of Albuquerque is expectedto absorb the majority of Bernalillo County’sgrowth over the next 80 years, and thisproject will work to identify what thatgrowth will look like and how it will come tofruition,” said the report. Students are planning the next communitymeeting on April 11th, 2024, at 1517 CoorsBlvd. NW from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. A final presentation overviewing theinitiative does not yet have a billing date butcan be anticipated for next week, accordingto the report.

Harrington ForestryResearch Center just to the south of NewMexico State Road 518 and will see theconstruction of a series of greenhousesdesigned to nurture more than 1.2 millionseedlings.Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham hassigned off on a $10 million capital outlayearlier approved by state lawmakers to fundsome of the initial construction work at thesite.With a long-range mission of studying andgrowing trees, the Reforestation Centeralso has a multi-phase building plan withconstruction taking place over a three-yearperiod, ending in 2025.According to information provided by theReforestation Center, the current seedlingproduction capacity in New Mexico is ataround 300,000 seedlings a year, a numberregarded as far below what the state needs,especially given that in the last two decadeswildfires have decimated up to 5.4 millionacres and hundreds of thousands of trees.As planned, the Reforestation Center willproduce up to 5 million seedlings annuallyfor planting in burned-out areas of the state.It is thought that it will ultimately cost asmuch as $99 million to complete theReforestation Center, with around $43million needed to for the final two phases ofthe project.The Department of Agriculture’s ForestService earlier announced that it wascommitting $10 million to the project.It has been noted that the forests of thestate supply anywhere from 50% to 70% ofall water used by municipalities and farms inNew Mexico. In a statement issued late lastyear, Rachael Foe, reforestation coordinatorfor the state’s Forestry Division, remarked:“What reforestation really means is that intwo or three decades our children will reapthe benefits of decisions we made today.”Continued Foe: “We are purposefullyinvesting not just in the forests themselves,but in the water sources and wildlife habitatthey provide.”33BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva ProNEED MORE CONTEXT?SEE OUR PREVIOUSCOVERAGE , HERE!

107Passage of the historic 2021 InfrastructureInvestment and Jobs Act has spurredconstruction projects, and plans for suchprojects, throughout the West. But the growth in such work, contends theexecutive director of the WesternGovernors’ Association, is placing increaseddemands on state offices overseeing suchprojects to the point of their needing morestaff—and as soon as possible.WESTERN GOVERNORS'ASSOCIATION HEADEMPHASIZES NEED FORINFRASTRUCTUREPROJECT STAFFINGBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 040/4/2024Copyright: Canva Pro“The importance of highly qualified staffthat oversees the process and evaluation ofpermit applications should not beoverlooked,” Jack Waldorf has remarked tomembers of the House Committee onAppropriations.“Recent infrastructure investments haveincreased workloads for local agency fieldoffices and created new demand fortechnical assistance from local communitiesand states,” Waldorf stated.Addressing his remarks specifically to theAppropriations Committee’s Subcommitteeon Energy and Water Development andRelated Agencies, Waldorf suggested thatfederal support should be increased for“agencies overseeing critical infrastructureprojects to increase their capacity toconduct environmental reviews andpermitting activities in a timely manner.”The former head of federal relations for theUniversity of Colorado system, Waldorf wasnamed to lead the Western GovernorsAssociation in 2023.The association is made up of the chiefexecutives of 19 states, along with theterritories of American Samoa, NorthernMariana, and Guam, banding together ongrowth, energy, and agricultural issues ofparticular importance to the region.SOUTHWESTLEGISLATIONBUILTENVIRONMENT

108And of those issues, noted Waldorf, nothing is more important than water.“In most of the West,” he remarked, “water is a scarce resource that must be managed withsensitivity to social, environmental, and economic values and needs.”While the governors of the Western states are in “the best position to manage and protecttheir water resources,” said Waldorf, they still need help from Washington.“Without undermining states’ authority over water resources management, Congress shouldensure adequate funding is available for new water projects, as well as improvements toaging water, wastewater, and hydropower facilities.”Ongoing infrastructure investments remain “essential to our nation’s continued economicprosperity, electricity generation capacity, and environmental protection,” continuedWaldorf.To that end, Congress should continue to use monies sent to the historic federal ReclamationFund “for their intended purpose,” which Waldorf identified as “the conservation,development, and use of resources to meet Western water-related needs.”And among those needs, Waldorf made sure to add, are Bureau of Reclamation “rural waterprojects and facilities that are part of Congressionally authorized Indian water rightssettlements.”BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva Pro
