The city’s leaders and the heads of the new Albuquerque Indian School District will begin work this morning on agreements for the new retail district at 12th Street and Menaul Boulevard.
“This is the first time for official business and they’ll be setting up the parameters,” said AISD spokesperson Tazbah McCullah.
At the 60-acre site, across 12th Street from the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, the AISD will include retail, restaurants, new office buildings and a school. It will be governed by AISD, which was formed last year by the state’s 19 pueblos that share in ownership of the land. This political and business model is unique because it is located within a major urban city and all 19 sovereign tribes are participating and will share the dividends generated by the District’s commercial activity.
AISD representatives, Mayor Richard Berry and City Councilor Roxanna Meyers are scheduled to meet at 9 a.m.
