Sandoval County's growth is outpacing that of the rest of the state. 'This area is by far the fastest-growing region in the entire state,' said Jerry Schalow during Wednesday's quarterly luncheon hosted by the Rio Rancho Regional Chamber of Commerce. 'We're not only adding jobs, we're adding residents and we've got a great opportunity for further population growth and economic investment.' The chamber's CEO and president also said that the region, including Rio Rancho, Corrales, Bernalillo, Santa Ana and Placitas and northwest Albuquerque is leading the state in the economic rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns.
