Rio Rancho's Remote City Hall Shows Vision

摘要

The new, innovative city hall for the city of Rio Rancho, N.M. may at present seem like it is out in left field. The 13.4 million dollars, 68,000-sq-ft steel, rock and glass structure currently has only the city's new sports arena and a water tank for company. But city planners are hoping that the rest of the rapidly growing city, just to the northwest of Albuquerque, will build up around its new center in an orderly manner. Contracts for nearby land with potential large users like the University of New Mexico are in the works.
