Odessa city leaders face a long term plan to build and maintain a farm-to-market road from Business I 20 to FM 3503 after a state budget shortfall stalled TxDOT funding. ODC board, appointed by the city council and funded by a quarter‑cent sales tax, may draft an agreement at Thursday’s meeting while travel funds for research are also on the agenda.

Odessa Development Corporation to discuss desalination travel funds
The Odessa Development Corporation meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Third Floor Conference Room of Odessa City Hall will consider funding for city engineers to study desalination, modeled on El Paso's system. Details on the travel funds remain unclear. Desalination turns salty water into fresh water, and El Paso operates the world’s largest inland plant producing 27.5 million gallons daily.
