July 19, 2025—Albuquerque, NM— The Indian Pueblo Entrepreneur Complex (IPEC) is proud to
announce that it has been selected as a Lowe’s Hometowns project, one of 100 community-
nominated, large-scale renovations that will revitalize nonprofit and community spaces serving as
hubs and heartbeats for hometowns. Now in its fourth year, Lowe’s Hometowns is the company’s
five-year, $100 million commitment to repairing and restoring millions of square feet of community
space.
The $200,00 grant will allow IPEC to complete renovations that will not only improve the
experiences of the local entrepreneurs who make use of it, but also add to the overall visitor
experience at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC). The money from the grant will be used by
IPEC for landscaping and improvement to its campus. Planned projects include excavation for a
retention pond, planting new fruit trees, pedestrian walkways, and other landscaping projects.
