Pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 3-60A-9, the proposed resolution would determine that the Plan will help eliminate or prevent blight, conforms to the City’s General Plan, and affords maximum opportunity consistent with the needs of the community for the redevelopment of the Midtown Metropolitan Redevelopment Area by private enterprises or persons. The Plan also does not include proposed activities that require displacement or relocation of any families or individuals, and a method for providing displacement or relocation accommodations is not needed. The Plan, if adopted, also delegates limited specific powers to the MRA Commission to carry out the goals of the Plan. (See, Attachment A). BACKGROUND: The State of New Mexico, through the Metropolitan Redevelopment Code (NMSA 1978, Chapter 3, Article 60A, Section 1 through 49), authorizes municipalities to prepare and amend metropolitan redevelopment plans, and to undertake and carry out metropolitan redevelopment projects. The City determined that blighted conditions exist within the Midtown Local Innovation Corridor Overlay District (LINC) with the addition of Franklin Miles Park and, on June 25,2025, designated the area as a Metropolitan Redevelopment Area through Resolution No. 2025- 42. The City now seeks to formally adopt the Midtown Metropolitan Redevelopment Area Plan to guide future redevelopment efforts, with a focus on equitable development, enhanced public health and safety, and long-term economic vitality for the Midtown Metropolitan Redevelopment Area.
