City approves study for economic base to lure industry
City officials back a federal grant to fund a 50 thousand dollar economic base study by Texas Tech staff and graduate students to map local labor availability and attract industry. The plan, from the Citizens Advisory Commission on tornado recovery, would use 100 thousand dollars from the Economic Development Administration with a focus on minority employment, while examining possible reallocation to an industrial study by the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce.
