RGF talks to KOAT 7: What ever happened to taxpayers-subsidized Unser Crossing?

New Mexico has a long history of spending taxpayer dollars on failed developments that don’t pan out. Going back nearly 20 years to the Unser Crossing development (originally slated for Unser and Central) was one such plan. Of course, RGF loves economic development. We want to see jobs and businesses locate to our state, but what we don’t like is when government spends our money on projects that don’t pan out or fail to deliver as promised.

In Albuquerque one such project was called Unser Crossing. It was supposed to bring development and amenities as well as jobs to Albuquerque’s West Side. To say the least it has not panned out, but the City spent millions on infrastructure.

RGF’s president recently talked to KOAT 7 about the situation.
