FHA to continue loan guarantees in Rio Rancho if standards met
A Rio Rancho City Council session heard Michael Griego of the Albuquerque FHA office say the agency will keep insuring loans if developers follow city and FHA drainage guidelines. He urged upgrading drainage standards and noted 45 complaints about AMREP Southwest's Vista Hills lot-to-lot system, which FHA deems adequate given existing grading. He warned withdrawal is possible if developers refuse to meet standards while residents pressed for safer drainage practices.
