Description

As the private and public sectors partner together in the future, we will continue to be standard bearers of community above self, coupled with an independent, pioneering spirit. These values are demonstrated in our City of Lubbock Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Values Statement created for elected officials, staff members, and volunteers. These important statements were created by our city council, city management, and community leaders.
