Quality of Life

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.

In Lamesa, that’s music to our ears. Several generations of families living in Lamesa can attest to the quality-of-life that comes from our unique community. Close-knit neighborhoods, 2 minute commute to work, excellent housing values, rich cultural heritage, access to ample retail and entertainment and a “Mayberry” sensibility still evident along our downtown square make Lamesa an attractive location for today’s factories and families.
