Petition Demands Public Review of Economic Development Corporations

Save Lubbock submitted two petitions to the City Secretary on October 31, 2026. One petition calls for the City Council to ban the purchase and use of Flock cameras and other vehicle-tracking systems in Lubbock. The second petition demands greater transparency and public accountability from the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance, requiring public review and voter approval before any new Type-B economic development corporation is created or authorized.

The second petition directly challenges the process for establishing new economic development corporations. If adopted, it would require public review and voter approval for new corporations, changing the regulatory requirements for local economic growth initiatives.
