Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, August thirtieth. We start with breaking news affecting families across our area. Last night, city and state leaders announced they are closer than ever to ending the decades-long water dispute over the Rio Grande. After months of negotiations, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado have proposed a fresh settlement, which if approved could help secure Albuquerque’s future water supply. This has big implications for everything from homebuilding to farming and our daily water use. City Hall is holding an open info session Saturday afternoon at the convention center to answer your questions about what these water changes could mean for us.In city government, we are mourning the loss of Tony Sigala, a beloved community leader and longtime martial arts instructor. Tonight, friends and family gather at Sigala’s Mixed Martial Arts on Coors Boulevard for a celebration of his life and his commitment to Albuquerque youth. This free remembrance starts at six and everyone is welcome.Turning to the weather, it is a beautiful sunny morning across Albuquerque, with highs today reaching the mid-eighties and a light breeze along the Rio Grande. We are seeing clear skies and no major storms on the radar, so it should be perfect weather to enjoy Balloon Fiesta Park or a walk in Old Town. Looking ahead, expect much of the same mild and dry pattern to hold through the Labor Day weekend, making it a great time for outdoor plans.Around town, several new businesses are making headlines. Central Avenue welcomes Fresco Food Hall, which officially opens this afternoon with local food vendors, music, and family activities. Meanwhile, Nob Hill’s favorite bookstore, Page One, just announced it will close next month due to rising rents – a real loss for local book lovers. On the job front, the Albuquerque job market continues its steady growth, with new postings in healthcare, hospitality, and tech pushing active listings to around six thousand.In real estate, home prices in the metro have steadied in August, with the median home price just under three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars. Open houses are happening across the city this weekend, as families search for available listings before the start of school.With school back in session, Del Norte High celebrates a big win in volleyball last night against Sandia, while APS reports a record-high turnout for afterschool STEM clubs. It is exciting to see students staying active and involved as the year kicks off.Crime news over the past 24 hours includes a shooting reported last night at East Gardens Mobile Home Park on Zuni Road. Albuquerque police responded quickly and are asking anyone with information to come forward as they continue their investigation. There is also an ongoing homicide investigation at a local bar near University Boulevard, stemming from a dispute over parking. Police say these incidents are not connected, and extra patrols have been promised in the area through the weekend to keep everyone safe.Looking ahead, the Labor Day Weekend brings plenty to do. Community picnics are planned at Roosevelt Park and the Rail Yards Market hosts a special holiday farmers market on Sunday morning. Music lovers can catch Blues Under the Blue Sky at Civic Plaza tonight.To end on a positive note, we want to highlight the work of volunteers from Mission Avenue Elementary, who spent their Saturday repainting the school’s playground and building a little library for neighborhood kids. Their spirit reminds us why Albuquerque is such a special place to call home.Thank you for tuning in and please remember to subscribe. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse.
