an alternative use of energy with the Buckman Project, but the timeline was such that we couldn’t. We had to go with PNM and take a 10-year contract. But we really do need a demonstration cogeneration facility like they have at the community college. I still believe that the City and the County should work together to make that happen downtown. Let’s explore the applicability of the community college biomass project to displace gas use in City buildings. We are looking at shifting City electric use to non-peak hours. We have established a Green Building Advisory Task Force and have made progress on specific code changes.

Economic Development: Supporting the historic preservation that keeps us unique is very important.We’ve built the Convention Center.finally. Encouraging the production and sale of locally produced art: We have the new convention center gallery. We’ve been developing a comprehensive marketing strategy that capitalizes on Santa Fe’s designation as UNESCO’s first “Creative City.” I think the International Conference on Cultural Tourism will help promote the artists selling their work. Tourists coming from other countries still have money, compared to what’s going on in this country. So, a focus on international tourism is a really smart choice for sustainable economic development.We have the “Buy Local” Program.We’ve worked really hard with the community college to develop Santa Fe as a leader in training for conservation technology.
