ALBUQUERQUE IS GETTING THE ONCE-OVER FROM ORGANIZERS OF THE FEDERATION AERONAUTIQUE INTERNATIONALE WORLD AIR GAMES. THEY’RE CONSIDERING ALBUQUERQUE TO HOST THE GAMES … MAKING IT THE FIRST NORTH AMERICAN CITY TO DO SO. THE GAMES WERE HELD IN DUBAI LAST YEAR.
MAJOR BERRY’S OFFICE ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING IT WOULD MEAN 30 MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW REVENUE … ANOTHER 250-THOUSAND VISITORS … AND A COMMITMENT FROM THE CITY, THE STATE, THE BALLOON FIESTA, AND CORPORATE SPONSORS.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS ORGANIZERS ARE LOOKING OVER THE CITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES TO SEE IF IT’S VIABLE.
