Ector County weighs expanding its jail to reduce housing and transport costs in other counties. Current figures show 75 inmates in Reagan County at 49 per day, plus 130,000 miles logged transporting inmates last year. Funding options include debt issuance or a public bond election due to a limited reserve fund.

Odessa study urges diversify beyond oil driven economy
Odessa economist Perryman presented a city commissioned 110 page study outlining target industries like wind energy, health care, warehousing and manufacturing to blunt oil price swings. He recommends using economic development funds to improve public schools, expand energy ties with Mexico, and pursue regional alliances while cautiously managing taxes and infrastructure needs. The report assigns growth to 2040 with 57,700 new residents and 37,400 net jobs, as incentives and grants were approved for downtown businesses and the West Texas Food Bank.
