ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque city councilors have unanimously approved changes to the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) to help small businesses. Smaller businesses will now have easier access to LEDA funding for sustained growth.

- Community: Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project awarded $67 million from Biden-Harris Administration
- Albuquerque: Three teens arrested for carjacking rampage
- New Mexico: Unique Airbnb locations throughout New Mexico
- Crime: Portales woman takes plea deal for hitting, injuring 12-year-old boy and driving away
Current LEDA legislation requires a minimum of ten year to participate in project terms, making access to the funding unfeasible for some companies. The amendment allows city council to approve LEDA projects for less than ten years under certain circumstances.
