Sawmill Community Land Trust

The Albuquerque City Council unanimously approved issuing nearly a quarter of a million dollars in industrial revenue bonds for a development in the Sawmill area near Rio Grande Boulevard and I-40. The bonds will allow for some major tax breaks for the developer, and were passed without concessions requested by both community leaders and the general public.

Tenants of the Artisan Village in Albuquerque’s Sawmill neighborhood have formed a union to demand that the owners and property managers address ongoing issues. They held a rally on Monday at the property.
