Lubbock County Approves Expo Center Project
Lubbock County Advances Towards New Expo Center: Strict Conditions, Strong Support
Lubbock Countys Local Government Corporation approved a resolution for a public-private partnership to build a new expo center, set to cost $67 million. The county will cover $32 million through a 30-year bond, with the nonprofit partner securing private donations or a backup loan. The center will be leased to the partner for daily operations, with leftover taxes covering shortfalls and $5 million reserved for surprises. Local leaders, including Rachel Elbert and Eddie McBride, showed support, citing the need for a venue since the old coliseums closure. The project is on track, with improved communication and costs within budget, and lease talks expected to begin soon.
