Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor eyed for West Texas growth
A coalition argues a new trade route from Mexico to Denver would spur West Texas development along 830 miles of road. Randy Neugebauer, a Lubbock businessman and coalition chair, says the Ports-to-Plains corridor could boost restaurants, motels, warehouses, and other businesses as residents decline. The plan would connect deep-water ports in Mexico to Laredo and move north through Texas Panhandle and West Texas.
