SANA membership benefits you and our neighborhood! SANA offers opportunities for neighbors to:
- get to know each other,
- promote community welfare,
- support local businesses, and
- improve community appearance and quality of life.
Additionally, Albuquerque law requires that SANA be notified in writing by city government and developers concerning proposed housing or business developments, zoning changes, land use flood plain and other environmental / conservation issues that could impact our community. SANA shares these proposals with our members and when possible, arranges for neighborhood meetings with proponents of such developments, to exchange information and to voice our support or opposition. SANA's position may be taken into consideration when such proposals are considered for approval.
