Early voting starts two weeks from today, which means we are in the home stretch of the Build Amarillo campaign. It's going to be a busy few weeks as we continue to inform members of our community about the importance of voting FOR Prop A.

We want to thank community leader David Lovejoy for helping us highlight this critical juncture in our latest tv spot. David served on the citizen executive committee tasked with helping determine the future of the Civic Center. He also serves our community as First Vice President of the local branch of NAACP and is a beloved local radio personality.
