The center is at 1701 Canyon Lake Dr., about three-quarters of a mile east of Interstate 27 off of 19th street.

Ken Cearley, AgriLife Extension wildlife specialist at Canyon, said attendees will hear legal, wildlife, real estate, industry, legislative and landowner viewpoints.

“Many South Plains landowners and managers are facing the decision of whether or not to pursue wind energy development on their land,” Cearley said. “This conference is intended to provide fodder for objective consideration and critical thinking regarding the benefits, disadvantages and associated tradeoffs wind energy can bring.”

Lubbock Mayor Tom Martin and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director Carter Smith are slated to address the conference. A number of legislators are scheduled to participate as well.
