The 6,500-acre Mariposa master planned community in northern Rio Rancho has broken ground on what will be the first building to be constructed in its East Commons area. The 14,500-square-foot facility will serve as an office, retail and sales center for Mariposa's staff and the community's developer, High Desert Investment Corp. The facility, designed by Albuquerque architecture firm Dekker Perich Sabatini, is being built by Enterprise Builders. It is scheduled to be complete in February 2007. .
Picture this: David Corliss is guest speaker at a Lawrence Chamber of Commerce event last week. When the noon start time arrives, no one has stepped up to introduce Lawrence's newly named city manager. No problem. Corliss steps to the front of the room on his own. “Thank you for the warm introduction," he deadpans. “I'm Dave Corliss, and there has been a clerical error. I'm the new city manager." There he is, Lawrence: Dave Corliss. Two weeks ago, city commissioners made Corliss the sixth city manager in Lawrence history. A 16-year veteran of City Hall, Corliss started as a management analyst in 1990, then became director of legal services in 1996 and an assistant city manager in 2000. Now he's in the big chair and is putting on a big show for anybody who wants to hear about a new direction for the city.
