Planning Department Hosting Focus Group Discussions Related to Community Planning Area Assessments for Neighborhoods
The Planning Department will host a series of focus groups from April 19-30 on topics important to residents and business owners in the Near Heights, in the area bounded by Interstate 40 to the north, Interstate 25 to the west, the Sunport/KAFB to the south, and Wyoming to the east. These community conversations are an important part of the City’s Community Planning Area (CPA) Assessments – a new way of engaging communities in long-range planning. This planning effort involves working with communities in each of the City’s 12 Community Planning Areas to assess trends, identify unique characteristics, prioritize community recommendations, and produce an action plan that will foster positive changes. The Long-Range planning team will complete three CPA assessments each year for four years. The first assessment started with the Near Heights in February. Another began in March in the Southwest Mesa. The third will start in August in central Albuquerque.wth. A map showing the areas, neighborhood associations, and Council districts is available on the project website:  <https://cabq.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b697b563bdb0acc3e117a1409&id=f5a2a8a830&e=86a7228d94> https://www.cabq.gov/cpa.
