Belen Will Review Vision for Growth.(South)
Byline: Arley Sanchez Journal Staff Writer
Development Plan Needs Updating
The city of Belen has been lucky in that it has remained essentially the same town it has always been.
Now the city of about 8,500 residents has an opportunity to revise its vision of what it wants to be through an updating of its comprehensive plan. The plan essentially is a blueprint to guide growth, putting emphasis on ways to retain a city's unique character while outlining methods to encourage and control residential, commercial and industrial development.
The coming of the railroad in the late 1880s transformed Belen from a sleepy agricultural community into a bustling town, later nicknamed the Hub City because of its central location in the state.
