There were a lot of winners year in the Roundhouse and soccer and schools were two of them.This year, legislators funded more than $532 million worth of capital outlay projects. These are projects like renovations, technology and new construction that won’t add to the operating budget.The money comes from bonds and excess revenue. Soccer took home about $8 million of it and the money went to all ages from the pros, to small children."The success of the U.S. (women’s) team, the success of the New Mexico United team, all have put a focus on soccer, and the youth soccer community is benefiting from that as well,” said Gloria Faber, director of the New Mexico Youth Soccer Association. Faber was in Santa Fe lobbying for a new multsport facility to be built on Mesa del Sol. When it’s done the sports complex will have more than 30 fields and include a training facility for the New Mexico United, which also got $4.1 million to build a new stadium.New Mexico State University Women’s soccer team got $575,000 for lights. Their rivals, the University of New Mexico Lady Lobos, got $90,000 to improve their facility.Rio Bravo Park in the South Valley, which includes a large soccer field, got $500,000, and Atrisco Heritage Academy got $90,000 to improve its facility.High Noon soccer complex in Las Cruces got about $850,000 for its facilities.Faber said the money is not just for soccer. Many of the fields will be shared with other sports"Youth sports keep kids out of trouble,” Faber said. “It is a healthy environment for them, and we believe it helps them focus on a good quality of life. More kids playing soccer, playing football, playing kickball, playing lacrosse, playing cricket, it helps everyone.”Albuquerque Public Schools also won big. More than 150 APS projects were funded for a total of $15 million. Half of that money was designated for security improvements. "Security has been a strong need, so principals were told to consider security as a top request,” said Heather Dahl, who oversees government affairs for the district. “Every school will maybe look a little different on what they do and how it is built based on the funding the legislators were able to provide. Parents should feel real good about that.”The funding for security comes at a time when APS needs it. A year ago, voters decided against a property tax increase that would have given millions to the school district for security improvements and maintenance.Some money will go to cameras. But the majority of it will be for locks and other ways to secure the schools to keep these kids safe.About $37 million was spent on schools statewide.
