Industrial Development
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.

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.
