Currently, Pampa is home to two wind energy related companies, Keystone Tower Systems manufacturing wind turbine towers through a special patented process and RenewTest, which provides testing for small to mid-size wind turbines. We are very interested in recruiting more wind energy and other green businesses to our local economy.
Pampa is a dynamic community of approximately 17,000 residents with a desire for continued growth and development. We believe that this can be accomplished in a number of ways including the retention and expansion of our local companies as well as the recruitment of new business and industry. This is an exciting time to be a part of the expanding Pampa and Gray County community. The Pampa EDC is a Type B economic development corporation eager to continue utilizing our resources for both economic and community development projects.
