SPAG was glad to participate in the 2027 Texas Freight Mobility Plan Workshop hosted by the Texas Department of Transportation (#TxDOT) in partnership with the Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization (#LMPO). Conversations like these are important to the future of our region. Transportation and freight connectivity directly affect how West Texas businesses move goods, support agriculture and energy, attract new industry, and connect our communities to markets across Texas and beyond. Thank you to @TxDOTLubbock, @TxDOT, and the LMPO for bringing local business, industry, and community leaders together to share input and help shape future freight planning for our region. #SouthPlains #WestTexas #EconomicDevelopment #Transportation #FreightMobility

A reminder that there are still people willing to stop and help when someone is in need. Five SPAG Law Enforcement Cadets worked together to remove a flat tire and put on the spare so that a SPAG employee could safely get back on the road. To these five young men: THANK YOU! Your kindness, teamwork, and willingness to help meant more than you know. You are already making a difference in the community you are preparing to serve.

The Sharing Shelf Food Drive was a wonderful success! Thanks to the generosity of SPAG staff, community members, churches, vendors and friends, we collected food donations to support seniors throughout the South Plains region. On July 16, Senior Center Directors gathered at SPAG and returned to their communities with bags and boxes full of donated food. We are grateful to everyone who contributed and helped make such a meaningful impact. Take what you need. Leave what you can. #SharingShelf #FoodDrive #SupportingSeniors #SouthPlains #CommunitySupport #SPAG
