THURSDAY IS THE DAY THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IS EXPECTED TO FINALLY MAKE A LONG-AWAITED DECISION. THEY'LL CHOOSE A GROCERY STORE FOR DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS. A DOWNTOWN GROCERY STORE IS SOMETHING RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR DECADES. THEIR NEAREST GROCERY IS CURRENTLY THE LOWE'S STORE AT 12TH AND LOMAS.

 

THE CITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION IS SLATED TO VOTE THURSDAY ON THE CHOICE OF ONE OF AT LEAST THREE COMPANIES THAT RESPONDED TO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THE NEW STORE WOULD BE BUILT ON AN ACRE AT 2ND AND SILVER. THE CITY BOUGHT THE SITE IN 2000.
