Commissioner Frank Baca of Bernalillo County said during remarks at a county meeting that he supports several projects and initiatives for District 2, including a community program he called “peanut butter and jelly,” infrastructure work on Bridge Boulevard and Asletta Boulevard, and development of the Mesa Del Sol sports complex.

“We're here to support initiatives. They're gonna support and and, initiatives or projects in District 2, and particularly, peanut butter and jelly, an amazing project, that supports our community, families,” Baca said. He added the county is backing infrastructure fields to assist development of Bridge Boulevard and Asletta Boulevard and described the Mesa Del Sol Sports Con complex as “an amazing opportunity for us, our young people to be involved in a very constructive activity.”

Baca said the sports complex could host tournaments that bring tourist dollars “to our community” and noted the complex could provide statewide — and beyond — participation opportunities. He did not specify funding sources, timelines or formal approvals needed for the projects. The remarks named neighborhoods within District 2, including South Valley, Southwest Mesa, Westgate Heights, Burrellas, South Broadway and Mountain View, as communities tied to the proposals.

The comments were presented as expressions of support rather than as formal county actions. No motions, votes or implementation details were stated in the provided remarks. It was not specified whether staff were directed to prepare cost estimates, contracts, or project timelines, or whether any grants or external partners were identified.

Baca concluded by saying the projects represent “really great projects that we have going on,” but provided no additional schedule or budgetary detail in the record provided.
