  1. Hardeman County Leadership ProgramLindsey Conley & Clay Bassham

  2. Issues:In Hardeman County • Lack of education & Opportunity • No post secondary education opportunities /literacy stagnant • Agricultural Based Community with little industry • The 80/20 rule for work and workers • Large disparity between social economic levels • Texas Cooperative Extension • Pursue grants and low interest loans for local improvements including Hardeman County Courthouse, Quanah City Park, Quanah Community Building, city infrastructures (sewer, water, utilities, and transportation), and youth recreation center. • The group felt that tourism was the number 1 concern for Hardeman County. The availability of quality motels and the absence of available liquor in the county is a problem. We should be aware of the rights and needs of absentee land owners that pay county taxes and spend tourism dollars on hunting, fishing, lodging, and food. We need to continue to support the fresh water lake project on Pease River, being aware of the tourism potential.
