The Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) in Amarillo received a $350,000 gift from Bank of America to build and support a new world-class school of veterinary medicine to address the region’s growing shortage of veterinary resources.
Tuesday’s meeting of the Amarillo City Council served as a milestone for two reasons.
First, the meeting was the first in-person meeting of the council in more than a year, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic causing council meetings, and many other public meetings, to be conducted via video conferencing software.
Second, Tuesday s meeting served as the first one after May’s general election, where individuals cast their votes for the mayoral position as well as the city’s four council seats. The votes cast by Potter and Randall county residents were canvassed and official after unanimous approval from the city council.
