Odessa Benefited from Texas Legislature Session
Odessa businessman Bob Barnes says the just ended Texas legislative session was favorable for the area as an appropriations bill boosts transportation spending. The $117 billion budget allocates 5.3 billion for transportation in FY 2004, aiding MOTRAN efforts for La Entrada al Pacifico trade corridor and rail links between Odessa Midland and northern Mexico. The La Entrada Rail District seeks feasibility of connecting with two other lines, expanding the overland corridor’s impact. Legislature coverage continues on Page 28.
