Every Saturday, The Index rounds up what happened across Midland, Odessa, and Pecos that week, so it's ready for you over coffee before the week's calls start. Not a real-time feed, a weekly one: signal over noise.
What's in it
- EDC announcements and business-attraction moves, what cities, counties, and economic development corporations are doing to bring companies to the Basin.
- Regional development news across Midland, Odessa, and Pecos, commercial, retail, and residential, not just industrial.
- Major operator land and facility moves, the deals and builds that shape what industrial ground is worth next.
- Political and regulatory moves that touch the Basin, state and local government action on energy, land use, and the power grid, the kind of thing that changes what gets built and where.
- The week in oil, WTI spot price and what actually moved WTX crude, because that number is upstream of every leasing and buying decision out here.
- TxDOT infrastructure projects on the corridors that matter, planned work and status updates on I-20, Loop 250, Loop 338, FM 1788, and the other roads that decide where industrial ground gets built next.
