SUMMARY:Aug. 10\, 2023: Building a Regional Economy
DESCRIPTION:Economic development is a team sport. To win\, anything that can be done to minimize risk for business operations will enhance the community’s probability of success for new business investment. \nGiven high costs of construction\, low vacancy\, and minimal construction activty\, the underdeveloped market in greater Albuquerque pushes rents to be some of the highest amongst a competitive set of metropolitan peers. For greater Albuquerque and New Mexico to win\, targeted infrastructure and facility development on key sites will be required to support higher value manufacturing and research and development facilities. \nJoin us for another episode of our regional educational programming\, where we will provide updates on AREA’s activity\, an overview of the importance of regional economic development collaboration\, and a conversation about site readiness. \nEvent will be hosted at HB Construction’s headquarters at 3010 Monte Vista Blvd NE\, Albuquerque\, NM 87106. Please note: parking for this event will be limited. Arrive early for best availability. This event will also be partially located outdoors. Refreshments will be provided. \nRegister Here!
