ALBUQUERQUE’S CLOCK TOWER HAS A NEW HOME. MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR WILFRED GALLEGOS SAYS THE CLOCK’S OLD LOCATION WAS ON THE 4TH STREET PEDESTRIAN MALL BUT IT HAD TO BE MOVED WHEN THE CITY CONVERTED THE MALL IN TO A ROADWAY. GALLEGOS SAYS THE CLOCK IS NOW ON CIVIC PLAZA.
THE CLOCK UNDERWENT A 42-THOUSAND DOLLAR RESTORATION WHICH INCLUDED NEW PAINT, NEW CLOCK MOTORS AND OTHER INTERIOR HARDWARE REPLACEMENTS. “GO BOND” FUNDS WERE USED TO PAY FOR THE WORK.
