Many citizens of Lampasas are utterly unaware of the monstrous waste of money called “The Business Park” on South 183 as you leave town. Millions upon millions (over SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS, at last count) have been wasted over the last 20 years with nothing to show for it.
Former councilman Mike White referred to it as a “goat pasture” and newly ousted councilman Bob Goodart called it a “colossal waste of money” in November 2020.
Here is a complete list of links so you can educate yourself and learn about the biggest financial folly the City of Lampasas has ever embarked upon in its 139-year history:
