    The citizens of Hockley County voted Saturday to allow the county commissioners to issue $15 million worth of bonds to build a Multi-Purpose Event Center in Levelland Texas. 

    This is the culmination of over a decade of work and planning by a dedicated group of individuals who never stop believing that Levelland and Hockley County deserved to have this opportunity.   And an opportunity it will be, this project opens the door for major retail opportunities in the Levelland area including new restaurants, hotels, and a truck stop.  With the thousands of visitors that will be coming into Levelland and Hockley County for various events each year, Levelland is poised for growth like never before in both housing development and job creation expecially for South Plains College students who want to work, live and go to school in Levelland.  

    And icing on the cake of this weekend's vote, less than 24 hours after the bond passed the Levelland EDC received its first offical request to reserve the new banquet facility for January 2011 from the Hockley County School Employees Credit Union.  You can see the letter here.

    I know that there were a great number of citizens that worked tirelessly to see this dream become a reality. This is probably similar to when South Plains College first came into being. It took sound planning by a group of people that had a vision for Levelland. I am very proud to be a citizen of this fine county. Today, we all share in that vision and we will soon see the fruits of your labor.
