Sandoval County Advances 640 Acre Land Swap With State
Sandoval County and the New Mexico State Land Office plan a signed land swap for 640 acres in the Rio Puerco area near Rio Rancho, in exchange for 2.2 acres at Mesa del Sol in southern Albuquerque. The county will pay a $25,000 difference and a county spokesman says only part of the land will be used as a landfill, with remaining space usable for future facilities. The swap was approved by the county commission on June 17 amid debate over whether the deal obligates landfill construction and whether alternatives should be sought.
