Regional News

It appears that the local powers-that-be have formed a RCIC, as dictated by the State of Texas, in an attempt to establish a Regional Center of Innovation. Oh yeah, they also want to snag some of the $200 million available for funding various projects .... especially since it's a-OK by the state for them to take a slice along the way.

It appears that the chairman / director of the local RCIC, called the WTCIC is Dale Gannaway. Dale is also the general front-man of the local economic development group, which used to be known as Market Lubbock, but is now known as LEDA. Their sole purpose is to try and provide incentives to stimulate local economic development.

I'm currently on a consultancy board with another group, called TRAC, which is now part of the WTCIC. I'm not sure entirely what that means ... but it could provide some interesting funding possibilities and access to some projects. So, it may not be long before I'm writing about our workings with TRAC and the WTCIC.
