**We have access to a venue (and dates) and have requested PNM to come to a meeting inside NAA with the ability to have our specific questions answered. We await their response.
August 29, 2024 UPDATE
PNM is at it again.
I received a call yesterday from Sherrick Roanhorse, Senior Government Affairs Manager with PNM stating PNM is once again planning to build an electric substation/distribution infrastructure in the Northeast Heights part of the city. PNM is targeting our NAA neighborhood (which is county).
One of our Board Members was approached by PNM to sell their vacant (A1) residential lot to PNM. We can assume other nearby NAA neighbors with empty (A1) lots have also been contacted (or soon will be contacted as well).
If PNM buys NAA residential lots (Zoned A1) and /or attempts to build a commercial substation on those lots (or even on SDRO zoned lots) , the NAACA and neighborhood will, once again, fight to protect our sector plan.
I will keep our neighbors posted on any new developments on this issue.
I encourage all of you to attend PNM's informational meeting.
Saturday, 11/16 10-12pm @ Holiday Park Comm Ctr.
Tuesday, 11/19 6-8pm @ CNM Workforce Training Ctr

September 28, 2022 UPDATE
A few of our Board Members and neighbors met with PNM"s Government and Community Relations Staff. They wanted to get feedback about what went wrong between PNM and the NAA neighbors as well as with PNM's appointed “Community Working Group” (in regards to the proposed Palomas Substation). PNM took notes and suggestions but did not divulge any significant information on revisiting Palomas substation location plan. The NAACA made it clear that we were not backing down from protecting the NAA sector plan!! We will keep our members informed when we are provided with any new significant information.
