Wilson Seeks $1.75 Million for Price’s Dairy March 21, 2002
 
Funding will transform dairy into public open space


Washington, DC-Congresswoman Heather Wilson today submitted a request to the U.S. House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee for $1.75 million to convert Price’s Dairy to a public open space that can be enjoyed by local residents. Transforming Price’s Dairy into a public open space is a critical project for New Mexico that has strong support. The dairy and surrounding area is a habitat for migratory waterfowl that fly north and south along the Rio Grande. Wilson wants to protect this habitat and see a great opportunity to study and observe the migratory birds that winter there and the other wildlife that favors the area.

“The dairy is a beautiful piece of farmland in the South Valley that should be enjoyed by New Mexico’s residents,” said Wilson. “Albuquerque, is one of the fastest growing communities in the southwest, and the loss of the Rio Grande Valley farmland means a loss of New Mexico unique history and culture.”

Located five miles south of downtown Albuquerque, the dairy is easily accessible to approximately one-third of the state`s residents.
