In conjunction with The High Ground of Texas and other industrial development groups, Opportunity Lockney pursues manufacturing and industrial development prospects for Lockney and Floyd County. We maintain a database of potential sites available for use in manufacturing and/or processing and serve as a contact for those in the community and surrounding area wishing to list potential sites.

Industrial businesses interested in locating or relocating in Lockney are encouraged to contact Opportunity Lockney to review potential sites and recruitment information. We will gladly provide tours of existing sites and schedule needed appointments.

Dairy link

Current trends in the West Texas economy clearly indicate that the dairy industry is rapidly moving into the Panhandle/South Plains area. Numerous dairies have already relocated to this area from California and other parts of Texas, and it is expected that this trend will continue into the future. Opportunity Lockney is actively engaged in recruiting dairies to Floyd County. If you are interested in locating a dairy in Floyd County, click here to contact Opportunity Lockney.

In order to attract dairies, it is essential to identify potential sites. These sites must encompass at least one-quarter section of land located within the Lockney Independent School District. In order to pass the rigorous permitting process required by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, potential sites should contain little or no designated wetlands. Ideal sites would also be located on or near paved roads, away from existing houses, and have an adequate water supply to meet the dairy’s needs. It is possible to improve road access to a site not located on a paved road. It is also possible that the dairy would consider purchasing existing houses located on or near a potential site. If you have land meeting these requirements and are interested in selling that land to the dairy industry, click here to contact Opportunity Lockney.
