The Government Services team is responsible for a wide-range of activities designed to improve the quality of life at the community level. From improvements in the way people get around the region to planning for the population increases that are projected in the next thirty years to making sure first responders have the training and equipment they need to get to the scene of the emergency when you call 9-1-1, the Government Services team is focused on finding regional solutions to the challenges the Texoma region faces.
