GOAL: "Protect and Preserve!"
Begin the environmental purification of Old Lubbock, starting with areas that contain low economic-value industry activity so that North and East Lubbock communities can breathe, and the Canyon Lakes economic potential be realized. For the great city we aspire to be, there's no room in our economy for cement pulverizing and simple batch plant activity in our city limits. We don't need them, and it's actively destroying lives and land values across an enormous amount of undeveloped acreage in North and East Lubbock.
