Bernco Accepts $410K in State Funding to Improve Dolores Huerta Gateway Park

A park in New Mexico's Bernalillo County is getting a makeover thanks to a $410,000 state grant, KRQE reports.

Dolores Huerta Gateway Park is currently home to the La Familia Growers Market, which brings local vendors, fresh food, and community artists to the South Valley.

"We've been trying for a long time to build up Dolores Huerta Park into a place where the South Valley community can come together and support one another and their neighborhood as a whole," Bernalillo County Commissioner Steven Quezada says in a news release.

According to KRQE, the state's Economic Development Department awarded the money to Bernalillo County and its partner, South Valley Main Street.

The grant will be used to improve the park, which is currently home to a number of shade structures, improve sidewalks, add trees, improve concrete fixtures, and add power outlets.
