The Rio Rancho Mariposa subdivision faces a bond debt shortfall after High Desert Investment Corp pulls from the Public Improvement District funded by a 9 mil levy.

Preservationists in Santa Fe defend four 1930s era houses near the Capitol from demolition for a state executive office building. The Historic Districts Review Board 5-2 vote kept the structures, citing historical value, while earlier efforts in the 1960s-1980s sought to replace them with new facilities.
