Tribes in New Mexico looking to acquire surplus BLM property





Two New Mexico tribes are interested in acquiring surplus property from the Bureau of Land Management, The Albuquerque Journal reports.

Santa Ana Pueblo and San Felipe Pueblo plan to preserve the 3,144-acre site if they are able to acquire it. Local residents are also opposed to development.

The BLM is updating its Rio Puerco Resource Management Plan, which called for the site in question to be disposed.
