FLOYDADA, TX – Over the past four months, the Floydada Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) has awarded more than $37,000 through six projects in the community.
In addition, at their February meeting last week, the FEDC board awarded $5,000 to the Floydada Collegiate ISD for improvements at Watson Field (baseball facility) to be used toward a new scoreboard and upgraded lighting.
The board also discussed and awarded the Lockney Hospital and Caprock Hospital districts $2,500 each.
After a few months of work, the board finalized the purchase of a property in downtown Floydada (100 S. Main), which was once a Sears retail outlet but was demolished by the city a few years ago.
