Rural Texans provide the food, fuel and fiber that sustain Texas, but they are often left out of the conversation in Austin. What are the big issues facing rural Texans and what makes for a thriving rural community?
Join The Texas Tribune and industry experts, community leaders and local lawmakers from across Texas for a special event, The Future of Rural Texas, happening Nov. 17-18 in person in Lubbock and streaming virtually.
This program will both examine hard realities for rural Texans and bring forward success stories from rural communities with thoughtful panel conversations, one-on-one interviews, discussions and more.
