Odessa Sheriff’s Posse clubhouse to be moved for Schlemeyer runway
The historic Posse clubhouse, a 50 year-old Odessa landmark with a dance floor and mural, will be moved as Texas DOT Aviation Division and county plan a Schlemeyer Field runway expansion. Also slated for removal are 32 horse stalls and a rodeo arena while Family Dollar builds a distribution center nearby. TxDOT says runways 5,000 and 5,700 feet are insufficient for jets over 30,000 pounds. County officials warned of a quick property settlement and lack of planning, leaving locals in the dark about time frames.
