Giant federal funds eyed for Pecos eight-county project
Pecos could receive a large federal money input within months if local support materializes. Wynn Hamilton, head of the district conservation and development committee, notes a proposed eight-county plan sits with the secretary of agriculture in Washington. The committee, about 120 residents strong, includes ranchers, farmers, bankers, judges, and chamber members. If approved, the project would create jobs, flood control and recreation facilities, improve living standards, and boost the regional agricultural economy.
