The Graham Economic Investment Corporation and the city of Graham signed off on providing $38,500 to make Graham the home of Smooth Ag Solutions, which will produce automated rovers to aid ranchers with the feeding process, livestock monitoring and data collection.
The city of Graham is working through its budget discussions to restructure the general fund budget, with four departments being moved into separate funds. The Graham Municipal Airport, Young County Arena, Library of Graham and Convention and Visitors Bureau will be transferred into separate special purpose funds, accounting for a $1.7 million shift in the proposed budget and an inevitable decrease in the general fund. City Manager Eric Garretty said when he saw a restructuring was required, he requested it be done all in one year.
