The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) has announced the temporary relocation of all public-facing and in-person services from its Albuquerque field office to its Rio Rancho location.
Effective immediately, all services previously provided at the Downtown Albuquerque office will now be available at the NMED Rio Rancho field office, located at 4359 Jager Dr. NE, Suite B in Rio Rancho. These services include new business permits, permit renewals, and technical assistance.
The relocation is due to ongoing mechanical system failures at the NMED Albuquerque field office, situated in the Springer Square Building at 121 Tijeras Ave. NE. According to NMED, despite attempts to resolve the issues, the conditions at the leased building currently pose a safety and functionality concern for both employees and the public.
Residents with questions about available services at the Rio Rancho field office are encouraged to call (505) 771-5980.
