A Monumental Deal Could be in Store for Amarillo

During Tuesday’s Amarillo City Council meeting, a multitude of topics were discussed, but it was a presentation from the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation that can have a monumental impact on the community. 

President and CEO of the corporation, Kevin Carter took to the podium to detail an economic plan to be in the running for both Producer Owned Beef and CVMR Refining to open up facilities in the city. 

Both companies have a combined total of $2.1 billion in improvements, and will open up 3,000 jobs, pumping back in a combined $28 million for the creation of these jobs. 

The benefits economically are ones that can bring in tens of billions over the next decade, but for Carter, in order to get that done, it’s important to work with the future of the community– our students.
