manufacturing. Another industry that came up was construction. We were way under our
ODC Minutes
April 11, 2024

competitors in the construction arena and that has to do with availability of trades and
actual construction companies. A lot of the area’s construction contracting is coming
from out of market. A couple of industries that came up were Professional Services that
could be approached through workforce development and Infrastructure Support, which
the board is already doing. They will look at ways to highlight what has already been
done. The digital campaign budget was kept at a lower level in April, however in May the
plan will be to go up to the original level based on the Target Industry Analysis
information. The lead forensics information has been shared with the economic
development staff. Mr. Manskey and Mrs. Jones will be working on those companies.
Mrs. Callicoatte stated they have started placing some of the new creative that was
shared with the board at the last meeting. They have placed with Trade Publications and
as a result are asking for editorial. An article was placed in the Business Expansion
Journal on the Liberty Oilfield project. Mr. Russell would like to incorporate a graph

ODC Minutes
April 11, 2024

Project update and discussion regarding Nacero. Hal Bouknight, COO for Nacero
gave an update on the Penwell project. Mr. Bouknight thanked the ODC Board for their
support. Two main issues impacting the project, one is the economy. Nacero made a
switch last year to jet fuel/sustainable aviation fuel and began discussions with off takers
about taking the jet fuel. The other issue is the project was somewhat dependent upon
the incentives in the IRA Bill. Basically, those are not being underwritten by any
infrastructure investment companies right now. Major difficulty getting financing in place
for the construction. Another issue is the technology partner had agreed to accelerate
the implementation of that technology, they have now come back and said they are not
ready to guarantee it. Nacero is wanting to accelerate the methanol piece of this project.
There is a higher demand for methanol as a shipping fuel. The issue is that the shipping
industry wants this facility on the coast. Investors have said Nacero needs to accelerate
revenue generation. Nacero has made a recommendation to their board to go forward
with building a facility on the Gulf Coast. Mr. Bouknight stated this in no way jeopardizes
the project here but will put it on hold until Nacero sees a turn in the market and the go
ahead on technology. If Nacero can get the project on the coast up and running, it
reduces the risk here. Mr. Crow asked a question regarding “longer term”, Mr. Bouknight
stated that construction for the site on the coast would be approximately four years but
that doesn’t mean they would not be working on the Penwell site. Projections are
somewhere in the five-to-ten-year frame. Mr. Crow asked what the estimated expenses
for the methanol plant on the coast would be. Mr. Bouknight stated $1.5 to $2.5 billion.
Mr. Harry asked if Nacero had looked at the demand for methanol in our area, stating
that the Permian Basin is a huge consumer of methanol. Mr. Bouknight stated they had
not but would. Mr. Russell discussed his concerns regarding funds allocated / invested
to the Penwell project and layoffs. Mr. Bouknight stated Nacero has laid off three to four
people with one being local. The focus is to cut costs. Mr. Crow and Mr. Russell
discussed their concerns about the $18 million allocated to the Nacero project that could
be used for other projects. Mr. Bouknight stated that if that money is needed elsewhere,
they are willing to give it up. Nacero came to Odessa because of the incentive
structures, the benefits of the community and support of the community. Mr. Crow
stated he was hoping to see more of this project up to this point but is a little anxious
about putting the project on hold for 5-10 years. They may need to look at removing the
$18 million for the time being with hopes that Nacero will come back ready to go. Mr.
Boutin stated the board needs to look at the agreement and look at options. Mr.
Bouknight thanked the board and told them he appreciated their support.
Tabled - Consider Resolution approving Economic Development Agreement with
UTPB as part of a collaboration with Permian Strategic Partners and the Midland
Development Corporation to develop a SAS analytics workforce model that will
support plans to close the workforce gaps and to provide support for economic
development. Mr. Manskey discussed the resolution provided in the packet to approve
the EDA with UTPB. Dr. Woodley discussed workforce needs in the Permian Basin. The
last four years Dr. Woodley has worked with SAS analytics which is an international
company who compiles analytics. SAS does analytics in lots of different areas. The
ability to connect data in the entire pipeline of workforce and provide evidence based
executive dashboards to all the decision makers who must line up their strategic plans.
We want to be able to see what the workforce gaps are going to be over the next five to
ten years and keep this data updated every year, so it is understood how many of what
type of jobs are needed. Dr. Woodley stated from UTPB’s analysis, 190,000 jobs will be
needed in the Permian Basin over the next twenty years and 38,000 of those jobs will
require a bachelor’s degree. Year one sophisticated economic data to look at the
workforce gaps. Year two will connect workforce data to look at what’s in the pipeline to
ODC Minutes

fill gaps. Then they want to look at K-12 institutions as well. Look at Kindergarten
through when students graduate and go into the workforce. How many students are
there, what are they interested in, how do we connect that with career outcomes data.
This project is on the MDC agenda as well. This project is a little under $1 million per
year, asking for a two-year commitment with the opportunity to renew it in future years.
The request is to be one of three partners to fund this project. Permian Strategic
Partnership will invest $150,000; MDC and ODC will split the rest for the total project
cost, first year $946,558 and the second year $991,561. PSP also actually funds
scholarships and operating dollars for workforce projects. Part of what PSP’s role would
be is after the project is up and going and gaps are identified, working with the
institutions to be able to have campaigns and convince students to choose the high
impact, high need careers. PSP will go beyond investing. Having the evidence-based
ability to understand what our workforce needs are and to be able to tackle it and track
progress is what we are trying to accomplish. Midland College, Odessa College, and UT
Permian Basin will all be a part of working to fill the gaps. Information in one place for
everyone to have access. The first phase of this program will be up and running in the
next 6-7 months. The grant would be for the software and the data, will need to have
SAS come in and do the consulting. SAS will host the data into the modeling. The
university wants to be able to as a service work with all the economic, industry, and
educational partners to provide regular briefings and put dashboards at everyone’s
fingertips. UTPB will facilitate the evidence base part of this project. The value is that
SAS heavily discounts their work to educational institutions. Mr. Boutin had a question
regarding the language of the Performance Agreement Section 4(a) Qualified
Expenditures. Josh Sheinberg with SAS Analytics provided a demonstration. Mr. Jones
stated the second WHEREAS in the Performance Agreement and the fourth WHEREAS
need to be removed, they do not apply. Dr. Woodley stated they will go before the
Midland Board on May 9th. Ms. Hollmann stated the agreement needs rewording under
the Qualified Expenditures and change the wording under Reimbursement for Qualified
Expenditures. No action will be taken until the Performance Agreement is cleaned up.
A motion was made by Mr. Harry to table this resolution until the Performance
Agreement is amended with a second by Ms. Hollmann. The motion was approved by
unanimous vote.
ODC Committee and Officer reports: Partnership, Tax Incentive, Advertising, DOI
Grants Design Review Board, and Compliance. Mr. Russell stated Partnership met

meeting being a one-hour meeting maximum, and having an agenda with specific topics.

Salutations and a splendid day to you on this third day of April in the year 2024,

Commerce. It brings us immense joy and satisfaction to have the privilege of imparting
details about our monthly activities to the esteemed ODC Board of Directors. The
BCCPB is brimming with excitement as we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to
disseminate valuable insights into the remarkable achievements of the Chamber. As
stalwart advocates for the betterment and advancement of our community, the Black
Chamber of Commerce is passionately committed to enhancing and supporting our
localities through a plethora of ongoing initiatives and dedicated efforts.
Enthusiasm abounds as the BCCPB eagerly anticipates the chance to delve into the
essential and much-needed insights surrounding the array of events orchestrated by the
Black Chamber of Commerce of the Permian Basin throughout the vibrant month of
March in the year 2024. This detailed report is poised to provide a thorough and
comprehensive overview of the notable progress that has been achieved within our
esteemed community and bustling city. This forthcoming update stands as a testament to
the unwavering commitment of the BCCPB, showcasing our unwavering dedication to
fostering growth and prosperity within our community. From active participation in
events to strategic sponsorships and engaging partnerships, this report serves as a
comprehensive and insightful overview of the meaningful contributions and impactful
engagements undertaken by the Black Chamber of Commerce throughout the dynamic
month of March in the year 2024.
During the vibrant month of March 2024, the Black Chamber of Commerce of the
Permian Basin (BCCPB) experienced significant growth in its online presence. Notably,
the organization saw a commendable 3.0% increase in Facebook activity, attributed to
the strategic sharing of social media posts and regular updates on the BCCPB calendar.
This surge was further fueled by the successful hosting of the BCCPB Networking Mixer
event, which garnered interest from the online community. Moreover, the BCCPB
observed a promising 1.0% rise in Instagram followers, signaling steady growth and
productivity across multiple digital platforms. Concurrently, the organization witnessed
an impressive 8% uptick in website traffic over a three-month period, underscoring the
effectiveness of regular monthly updates and the valuable flyers to the online audience.
In March alone, the BCCPB received over 700 interactions, including office visits, phone
calls, voicemails, emails, and personal visits, highlighting the expanding reach and impact
of the organization within the community. This influx of information is a testament to
the dedication and efforts of the BCCPB in fostering meaningful connections and
relationships with its stakeholders.
1. In March 2024, the BCCPB held 17 counseling sessions. These sessions covered
topics such as building assistance, financial planning, new membership
opportunities, and strategies for success. Our focus remains on supporting the
development and growth of small to medium-sized businesses, as this remains
our primary objective.
2. On March 8, 2024, the BCCPB worked in partnership with one of our local
churches, to serve well over 190 food boxes to families that were in need. The total
boxes increased in the month of March. We are still hoping to see a drop in the numbers
of families in need of food boxes. We plan to feed over 200 families for the month of
April 2024.
3. Throughout the entire month of March, the BCCPB publicized the importance of
“Women’s History Month”. This gave the BCCPB an opportunity to honor some of our
groundbreaking trailblazers in our community, city, and our state. We were able to honor
6 women each week for the entire month of March 2024.
4. The BCCPB helped one of our local churches promote and advertise an
upcoming event that would bring in over 200 people for the 10th of March event. This
was an Anniversary event hosted by the Church. (This was a two-day event).
5. The Black Chamber of Commerce hosted a workshop with the SBDC and Tyler
Patton over “Don’t Fear Financials” this took place online March 20th, 2024.
6. The BCCPB has been able to set a date that is satisfactory to everyone involved.
This is in reference to a meeting with local financial institutions about funding for some
of our entrepreneurs and small potential businesses. (Attentive date has been set).
7. On the 21st of March 2024 the Black Chamber of Commerce hosted a “BCCPB
Networking Mixer” to introduce our older members and Businesses to our newer and
younger Members and Businesses.
8. The Black Chamber of Commerce met with KOSA Media to promote our upcoming
mixer and look forward to helping promote up and coming events and activities for our
40th anniversary. This took place the entire month of March 2024.
9. The BCCPB gave away more clothing to one of our local organizations to go
towards our “Shirt off My Back” campaign. This has continued into the Month of March
2024. We were able to find a recipient for the clothes that were donated. This took place
March 23rd, 2024.
10. The Black Chamber of Commerce is in the process of planning our first annual ever
event of this kind! Details will be released on next report. We are in the planning stage of
our annual cleanup for “Earth Day” in partnership with KOB. This will take place on
April 20, 2024. Plans have been put into place for our first Membership Drive in 10
years.

We appreciate your continued support and assistance.
Sincerely,

February 2024
MTP REVISIONS:
We are continuing to work with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to
add several interstate cross section segments to the Metropolitan Transportation
Plan (MTP) revisions, which would aid in the development of I-14 and I-27.
Those key corridors included are:
SH 349 (Martin/Dawson County Line to juncture of SH 349 and B349
Craddick Reliever Route (Juncture of SH 349/B 349 to I-20/FM 1788 Intersection)
SH 158 (I-20 to Midland/Glasscock County Line)
US 385 from I-20 to MPO Boundaries in Ector County
We recently learned of some concerns from one of the MPO members but then
visited with TXDOT and they set up a meeting between the head of TXDOT
Planning, Deputy Planning Director, and MPO staff to address the issues.
FEDERAL FUNDING REQUEST
We recently submitted a federal funding request for $5 million for two projects
on the local TIP (Transportation Improvement Plan). While not a huge amount,
during the previous two years we have averaged $4.5 million annually in
additional funding. That represents a 10% increase in locally programmable funds
within the MPO boundaries each year.
I-27 NUMBERING
The second legislative component of I-27 was finally passed (Senate concurred
with House amendments) to number the future I-27 corridor officially as I-27.
The previous legislation only denoted a future interstate but did not include the
actual number. Early versions of the legislation had suggested an ancillary route
number for Midland-Odessa. After conversations with the Cruz and Pfluger
offices, that legislation was amended to create an East and West Corridor for the
primary I-27 number.
STRATEGIC PLAN
INTERSTATE 14 & 27
IMPLEMENTATION
1) PS&E WORK FOR I-14 AND I-27 CORRIDORS-ODESSA DISTRICT
Working with TXDOT Administration, we were able to expedite planning on the SH 158 and
SH 349 Corridors in the Odessa District for FY’25. This work sets the baseline for 4 lane
divided corridors with the additional ROW necessary to build out to an interstate cross
section.
This effort will help establish cross sections, sooner than other segments, meaning we can
have projects ready to go, sooner than other areas of I-14 and I-27. Given the traffic counts
and crashes on these two corridors, we also feel they can compete for available funding at a
very high level.
Until this work is complete, we cannot obtain funding for the projects or acquire ROW. We
can begin building support for them, but TXDOT cannot program funds until the PS&E is
complete. The one exception would be buildout of the existing Craddick/SH 349 Reliever
Route.
NEXT STEPS
A) To ensure continuity both inside and outside the MPO, the MPO will have to add interstate
cross section projects to the Revised MTP. (MPO)
B) Address Priority Corridor (Category 4) funding criteria which currently excludes 4 lane
undivided to 4 lane divided, in favor of 2 lane to 4 lane divided. (TXDOT Admin and
Commission)
C) During the PS&E process begin accumulating and sharing data on potential projects with
TXDOT, Transportation Commissioners, and other stakeholders to build support for project
additions after PS&E is complete. (MOTRAN)
D) Identify possible ROW parcels, associated landowners, and develop strategies for ROW
donations that can be used to justify ROW and UA funds from TXDOT at the conclusion of
PS&E. (MOTRAN)
STRATEGIC PLAN
INTERSTATE 14 & 27
IMPLEMENTATION
2) PS&E WORK FOR I-14 AND I-27 CORRIDORS-STATEWIDE
Begin working with regional leaders along routes, particularly in our area– San Angelo and
Lubbock Districts) to expedite similar PS&E planning efforts (Glasscock, Sterling, Dawson, etc.)
for corridor development from existing I-27 (Lubbock) to San Angelo, at the conclusion of the
I-27 Implementation Plan this summer.
3) PLANNING WORK ON US 385 CORRIDOR-ODESSA DISTRICT
Work with the District and MPO to expedite planning on the US 385 corridor (direct connect
from I-20 to I-10) upon completion of the I-14 Implementation Plan in April. Since traffic
counts do not warrant major investment in the southern reaches of the corridor, this effort
would focus on the ability to establish a direct connection from I-20 in Odessa to I-10 to
accommodate freight and heavy/industrial traffic.
4) I-14 PLANNING-NATIONAL
Begin working with leaders along I-14 in Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia, to encourage initial
studies and planning efforts on the eastern leg of I-14. Our implementation plan crafted by
TXDOT would be helpful in making the case for other states do begin baseline planning.
While fiscal constraints would make PS&E efforts unfruitful, this effort would help build
additional support and continue momentum.
