Lubbock Economic Recovery Task Force Membership Announced

The complete membership of the Lubbock Economic Recovery Taskforce has been released by the City of Lubbock.

“The Lubbock Economic Recovery Taskforce is a diverse and experienced group of community and business leaders who all understand the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on our city,” said Mayor Dan Pope. “Their recommendations to help the local economy will preserve both lives and livelihoods.”

The taskforce's main duties are to come up with the planning for businesses to re-open in Lubbock, in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Mayor Pope announced, last Thursday, that the Lubbock Economic Recovery Taskforce would be co-chaired by Robert Taylor, CEO of United Supermarkets, and Councilman Steve Massengale.

“I’m thankful for the tremendous interest we have had in the taskforce," said Massengale. "I’m honored to co-chair with Robert Taylor and excited to be surrounded by great leaders from our community. Our task is unprecedented and difficult. I’m confident we can get Lubbock open for business and at the same time protect the health of our community."
