Junction gift of Hill Country land to Tech stirs debate
The 411-acre Hill Country tract near Junction is slated to join Texas Tech on Sept. 1, with no clear plan yet for its use. A quarter of a million dollars may be needed to study possible developments. The land was deeded to Texas A&M 22 years ago for a community educational and recreational facility, but Junction residents sought another sponsor. Rep James Nugent pushed for Tech involvement with potential $500000 in two-year state funding, a bill transferring ownership passed Legislature, and Gov Preston Smith signed it before vetoing the second year appropriations.
