LUBBOCK

Located in the heart of West Texas, Lubbock is the major retail and wholesale trade area for West Texas and eastern New Mexico. Lubbock is within 450 miles or the major metropolitan areas of Texas including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Laredo, El Paso, and Amarillo. Lubbock is near the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado. The city is also the home of the region's major health care providers and higher education institutions, such as Covenant Health System, Texas Tech University, Lubbock Christian University, South Plains College and Wayland Baptist University. The city's diversified business climate-agriculture, retail and wholesale trade, health care, education and distribution - indeed makes Lubbock an economic powerhouse. The area's warm sunny days and mild seasons are conducive to the success of Lubbock's agriculturally based economy. However, the Lubbock metro area has a robust diverse economy to complement its agrarian roots.
