In case you missed it, please read this thoughtful column that appeared in Sunday’s Albuquerque Journal, penned by District 6 Coalition president and current community member of the Fairgrounds District Board, Dr. Peter Belletto.
“The real question isn’t what we’re losing — it’s what the community is gaining. Will we create the kind of neighborhood where families see opportunity, not decline? Where the International District gets the investment it so desperately needs?
I imagine an International District in which parents are excited to cross San Pedro or Central Avenue to go to the park with their kids. An International District in which communities can gather over shared hobbies, where businesses flourish and no one is afraid to walk home after dark.”
