Fall 2024 Annual Community Meeting 11/20/24 see Events for details
NAACA: 11003 Anaheim Ave. NE Alb., NM 87122
The Mission of the NAACA is to serve North Albuquerque Acres residents by working to preserve and enhance the unique, low density, rural lifestyle of the NAA community.
The NAACA is run by NAA volunteers. We are always looking for more neighbors to help us protect our sector plan /zoning and enhance the quality of life in our community. Suggestions are always welcome!
Dear NAA neighbors and Property Owners,
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 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. **Opinion and Order from 2nd Judicial Court District (see below)
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

Dear NAA Neighbors and Property Owners,
We are happy to finally have Ben Greiner Park open for our community!
Bernalillo County Park Maintenance is asking NAA neighbors (and their leashed furry friends) visiting park, for their assistance in maintaining healthy, new soccer field by: reminding everyone to: please pick up after their dogs (dog waste bags provided in dispenser on west side of field) and please do not allow your dogs to dig anywhere on the field. Thank you.
Kind Regards,
David Neale, President

Hello and Happy Fall to all our North Albuquerque Acres Neighbors!
The NAACA Board invites our community to our Annual Meeting: October 19, 2023 at 6pm- Sandia Presbyterian Church’s Sunrise Chapel (South side of gym). Neighbors: update your membership, hear the latest news affecting our community, ask questions, discuss concerns, and hear guest speakers: BernCo Commissioner Walt Benson, and members from our County Sheriff’s office: Sheriff John Allen and Captain Justin Kimbrough. Members will also elect the Board of Directors.
Our Fall Newsletter is on hiatus, so this message will touch on some of the latest community news, but please attend the annual meeting and continue to check our website: NAACA.info for current events/news throughout the year.
NAACA met with the BernCo Public Works Department regarding much needed road repairs on Oakland between Ventura and Eubank. Additional funding from the upcoming 2024 State Legislature is required to complete repairs.
NAACA is monitoring BernCo Zoning Department’s requests for texts changes in Muni Code for zoning. We oppose anything that would change our Sector Plan.
BernCo Parks and Recreation/Open Space has been working hard to update the Ben Greiner Park. Together, along with Commissioner Walt Benson, we celebrate with a ribbon cutting ceremony/ice cream social for all the community on 9/23/23 at noon.
The NAACA is run by neighbor-volunteers and we are always seeking more neighbors to help. The Mission is: to serve North Albuquerque Acres residents by working to preserve and enhance the unique semi-rural character, lifestyle of the NAA community and (most importantly) to protect our Sector Plan/Zoning. Please ask your neighbors to become members and better yet, please volunteer with us!
I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting!
Warm Regards,
David Neale, President

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).
