The Silver Hill Board met with representatives of CNM last month to discuss various issues, mainly the school’s role in the neighborhood as a property owner and otherwise.
CNM officials vowed to not only retain the homes that have been bought up near the campus’ northeast corner (the southeast corner of Silver Hill), but also to fix them up and closely vet tenants who move in. In that same area, CNM has been using an empty lot at Coal Place and Buena Vista for overflow parking. We were told that such parking will continue through 2019 while construction goes on in the center of campus, which has pushed more students and employees (and their cars) to that northeast area of campus.
We also learned about a new program that provides paid student internships to build eco-friendly and sustainable small homes in Albuquerque. Read about it here.
We vow to follow CNM and its governing board closely. Here are two ways to do that. Here is a link to the CNM Board’s schedule of meetings and agendas/minutes. And here you can keep track of the Board’s Long Term Plan.
Let us know if there are other issues we can bring to the attention of CNM leadership.
