Amarillo prepares a comprehensive zoning map and ordinance, hired expert at 65 dollars daily, to designate home, business, warehouse, and factory districts. The plan aims to clarify property values and neighbor impacts, while noting building activity often rises under zoning boards. The national automotive show’s success is cited as a prosperity pace setter with broad economic spillover. The show moves to Chicago next January.
