On September 12 at the Regular Thursday Meeting, Tim Cummins of Rio Real Estate updated the membership on the "Central NM Railpark" in Los Lunas which was started in 2007. He explained that when finished this 1400 acre project will produce more economic activity than any comparable facility in New Mexico. He told us that 50% of all goods imported into the USA come from Loa Angeles through the BNSF facility in Belen. The Railyard Project is five miles from the new Facebook facility in Los Lunas which has 1300 people on site during construction of the six building facility.

 

Tim explained that the Los Lunas facility has a quick turnaround on permitting and siting because of quick action by the Los Lunas City government on such things as building permits.

 

Last  night Del Sol Rotarians had an enjoyable evening dining on Burgers and Brats at Brad and Caryn Ekhoff's home during Septembers Freeloaders party.

 

Last Tuesday, September 10, 2019 the RDS Foundation Board met at U.S. Eagle Credit Union, "Brad's Bank" and regretfully accepted Julie Frendle's resignations a Board  Member.  We all thank Julie for her service and wish Julie and Rick well.
