IT’S ONE OF THE FIRST TANGIBLE SIGNS THAT ALBUQUERQUE’S PROPOSED ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IS ON IT’S WAY. TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE DISTRICT AT FIRST AND CENTRAL, CREWS ARE RE-ALIGNING FIRST STREET AT CENTRAL. ALSO ,WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETED IN THREE MONTHS, FIRST STREET WILL MEET WITH COPPER AS A CONVENTIONAL INTERSECTION. THE CITY SAYS CONSTRUCTION ON THE ENTERTAINMENT HUB SHOULD GET UNDERWAY THIS FALL.
THE HUB WILL INCLUDE A PRIVATELY OPERATED MULTI-STORY FACILITY OF COMMERCIAL SPACE, RESTAURANTS AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THERE WILL ALSO BE A PARKING GARAGE WITH OVER 400 SPACES.
