Printers Voice Displeasure to Lubbock City Council Regarding LEDA Incentives

Some citizens, including two men that owned different printing businesses, spoke out against the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance for awarding $64,500 in incentives to Copy Craft Printers for an expansion that is expected to add 20 new positions to the company.

Ron Peters, who owns Craftsman Printers, spoke out against the incentive, saying “now all of the sudden, we’ve got a competitor that’s financed with tax money.”

Parks Printing’s founder Don Parks also voiced his displeasure with the incentive. “All of us in our professional and business lives have fierce competitors…and that’s okay, as long as it’s a level playing field.”
