Ground
Transportation in and out of Lamesa is a snap. Goods and services flow seamlessly along seven excellent highways pin-wheeling out of Lamesa in every direction, making Lamesa a straight shot to…everywhere.

But the future of ground transportation in Lamesa is even brighter due to Lamesa’s placement as the junction of two major highway projects set for completion before the end of this decade. Lamesa will be situated at the curbside of commerce when the Ports to Plains Trade Corridor is completed. This interstate will be the major transport route for goods from Mexico to reach the great Northwest. In addition, the La Entrada al Pacifico will connect the Ports to Plains system to Midland/Odessa with brand new four-lane convenience. These two trade arteries will intersect less than one mile South of town, positioning Lamesa as a prime warehousing and distribution hub.

Air
Lamesa’s own airport boasts a 5000 ft. paved runway with fueling station. It’s more than ample to accommodate regional commuter traffic and product distribution. But if you need to fly with the big boys there’s not one, but two international airports within one hour of Lamesa in Lubbock and Midland.

Telecommunications
“Small” and “rural” are not the adjectives you would typically use to describe a technology-embracing community, but that’s what Lamesa has chosen to become. Lamesa was one of the first communities in West Texas to have a home-grown ISP established by local internet pioneers and the trend continues today. Services include high-speed internet, DSL and wireless broadband. Recent technology investments will greatly expand and improve internet connectivity to ensure that Lamesa will be able to meet the future needs of our population.

Question: What do you get when you mix a great location with an abundance of quality highway and airport access; throw in up- to- the- minute telecommunications technology and ready access to affordable utilities? Answer: You get everything that Lamesa has to offer. A fantastic place to start, operate and grow a business.

Recent research indicates that today’s business leaders and the workers they employ are “consumers of place,” which means quality-of-life considerations are far more important in corporate site selection and individual and family relocation decisions today than in the past.
