May 1 — Deep in the Concho Valley, our west Texas community has long been home to a variety of manufacturing and service industries, but as we’ve looked to attract additional investment from a reliable source of economic growth that also fits our lifestyle, we needed to look no further than the surrounding land that we call home.
