Summary
Albuquerque’s Environmental Planning Commission approved an In-N-Out at Cottonwood Mall, moving the project one step closer to reality. For locals, it’s mostly a burger-and-convenience story, but it also signals more commercial activity on the west side. The approval isn’t the final construction green light, but it clears a key planning hurdle.
