Panhandle, TX Population: 2,500
Located 28 Miles Northeast of Amarillo
City Manager: Terry Coffee
What is planned for 2020? We have begun to develop a reinvestment zone for Main Street and are planning for revitalization of our downtown area. The TIRZ will give incentives to rehabilitate the downtown area. The development of new homes is being talked about, and there is interest from several contractors to build approximately 30 new homes. Both projects will be ongoing and other projects to enhance and attract people to our community. For a city our size, we have a lot to offer. We have a great school system, a beautiful retirement complex with sixty-one units and excellent health services with our clinic and 24-hour EM service.
What are your personal goals or resolutions for 2020? Personally, I want our city to be the best community in the Panhandle. I’d like to attract more people to come here and create development. We are looking to bring in some restaurants or stores along Highway 60. The sky is the limit.
