Friends and Neighbors, Three directors of Nob Hill Neighborhood Association just met to evaluate neighborhood input on the subject request.
Thirteen neighbors weighed in by email or orally in support of the request. One neighbor weighed in orally expressing concern about hours of business and the precedent.
In accordance with the statement below, because input does not suggest strong concerns among neighbors or directors we will not meet further on the request and will not express an association position.
All are welcome to comment to the liquor hearing officer by emailing donna@cabq.gov before 8 am tomorrow and to participate in the hearing.

Subject: RE: [Neighbors] Request for Craft Distiller Offsite Liquor License, 1169973, Tractor Brewing Co., 118 Tulane SE, Extension of deadline for input
Friends and neighbors,
Because I was slow getting the announcement below out to the email list I secured an extension for input to the CABQ Liquor Hearing Examiner. His office will accept a position from us until 8 am Monday.
In lieu of the full original email I will amend the one sentence:
At noon this Sunday, Oct. 25, NHNA will evaluate input received. When input is neutral or positive we generally don’t develop an association position. If input suggests strong concerns or directors have strong concerns we will convene the board by zoom at 5 pm that day to explore an association position. We will notify the email list of this special meeting if it becomes necessary and all are welcome.
Thank you for making your voice heard.
Gary Eyster, President Nob Hill NA
