CB Fox downtown redevelopment (LEDA project)
No county money involved — a private investment expected to boost downtown foot traffic, dining and lodging.
Walkup Aquatic Center Closure and East Park Pool Partnership
The rehab budget stays at $3.3 million; the county spent about $25,000 on the Pinon Pool boiler repair and would reimburse Española day rates for season-pass holders.

Average residential bills rise from about $1,425 to $1,553 per month; the per-therm rate increases 41%.
