SANTA FE ―The New Mexico Environment Department will conduct public outreach meetings Aug. 14-24, on the $18 million Volkswagen settlement funds in Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Roswell, Albuquerque, Farmington and Gallup.

 

At these meetings, representatives of the Environment Department will provide more details on the VW settlement and solicit public input.

 

The NMED will guide the creation of New Mexico’s Beneficiary Mitigation Plan (BMP) and with public input, determine how the funds will be distributed across various future projects to reduce the level of nitrogen oxide and bring environmental benefits.
