LMC is in the business of manufacturing vessels used in the transportation and storage of gases and chemicals at its 22 acre facility in Lubbock. ETC intends to expand the railcar tank vessel manufacturing operation. Construction and equipment expenditures, after the original acquisition of assets, are still in a preliminary stage of formulation. 9. If the company's assets are not acquired by ETC in the near future, the ability of LMC to remain in operation would be questionable. No major changes in the employment level are anticipated in the near term. Employment increases are likely after the LMC operations are integrated into ETC railcar and possibly truck trailer manufacturing operations, and when economic conditions improve to stimulate in- creased demand for tank cars/trailers. 10. a. 401 Avenue H 22 acres 127,000 sq.ft.
