Odessans face a crossroad on growth as the city uses tax funds to back the Odessa Chamber of Commerce for economic development. Proposals include outsourcing to the chamber or creating a new organization under the Odessa Development Corporation to ensure accountability, unity, and broad community access to opportunities.
