Today we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new People’s Market in Albuquerque’s International District, a project envisioned and selected by District 6 residents through the City’s 2025 Participatory Budgeting ABQ (PBABQ) Pilot Program.
Located at San Mateo and Kathryn, the market represents the power of community voices shaping meaningful investment in their neighborhood. By creating greater access to fresh food, supporting local growers, and providing a gathering place for residents, the People’s Market is helping strengthen the fabric of the International District.
Located adjacent to the Albuquerque Community Safety Center, which our team completed as part of the broader International District master plan, the market is another important step toward creating a more connected, vibrant, and resilient community.
Congratulations to everyone whose vision, advocacy, and partnership made this project possible.
