Shaping Friona's Future
In December 2019, area representatives from Bovina, Farwell, Friona, and Lazbuddie partnered with the U.S. Census Bureau to create a Census 2020 Complete Count Committee. This committee, chaired by Friona City Manager Lee Davila and Bovina City Manager Cesar Marquez, is comprised of about 20 individuals from the community, local schools, county offices and city governments. They are responsible for outreach and education for the 2020 Census in Parmer County.
