CANYON, TX -- West Texas A&M is about to get some big bucks - to the tune of $1.5 million dollars. United States Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, R - Texas, helped to secure the grant, which will be used to build research labs on campus.
The labs will support agriculture, business, and alternative energy research. In canyon on Wednesday, Hutchison said she chose WT because of its potential to help the state with water and wind research.
"Now that is going to be useful everywhere in Texas where we have agriculture need and we need to make sure that the resources, uh, the research we have here, will help us with water management everywhere," said U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.
We also asked the senator about her rumored run for governor, but she declined to comment, saying that it was not an appropriate time to discuss the subject.
