STATE FAIRGROUNDS TIDD

SB 482 authorizes New Mexico to issue up to $1 billion in bonds secured by tax increments from the state fairgrounds area in Albuquerque. The bonds would fund projects within a tax increment development district covering all state-owned land at the fairgrounds, subject to review by the New Mexico Finance Authority. The bill prohibits most new capital projects during bond repayment, except for public facilities like schools, cultural centers, and public safety infrastructure. The authorization lasts 25 years from the first bond issuance, contingent on formal district approval.
