After the New Mexico Corrections Department announced this spring that it would relocate its Albuquerque probation and parole division to Downtown’s Plaza Maya, opposition began to surface from some groups that work with young people in the area.
A purchasing agreement had been signed by the state’s General Services Department to buy the 62,287-square-foot building at 615 First St. NW — a move that could lower Downtown’s chronically high office vacancy rate.
Now, months later, GSD Public Information Officer and Records Custodian Tim Korte says plans for the purchase are moving forward, with a policy change in the works to help address community concerns.
