The Albuquerque Environmental Review Committee approved this project 9-0 on April 20, 2023. 

Final construction documents have already been developed for RFP release with a 

target ground-breaking date in September 2023. 

(9/7/23) IMPORTANT NOTE: The City of Albuquerque has fallen behind on the 8/16/22 Design Schedule shared below. On Sept. 1, Mayor Keller stated to a citizen that he was still waiting on a retaining wall design. Additionally, no RFPs for Phase 0 (building the retaining wall and ground preparations) has yet been sent out. (The $4.5m price stated by the city's "on-call contractor" is extremely high, would consume 10% of the Aquatic Center budget, and raises red flags. So, we are asking the City to urgently send out an RFP with a 7-day turnaround submission deadline.)

In the City Council meeting on 9/6/23, we requested an updated, comprehensive schedule for the public to follow. Once this has been received from CABQ Administration staff, we will post it here.
