Investment Overview

Pecos is situated just over 100 miles from Midland and Odessa, and less than 50 miles from key oilfield and industrial operations in the Permian Basin. Its proximity to major energy infrastructure, along with access to regional highways and the Pecos City Airport, makes it an increasingly attractive location for industrial users in warehousing, oilfield services, and materials handling. The local economy in Pecos is driven by several sectors, including oil and gas, logistics, healthcare, government, and retail services. The city is surrounded by service yards, pipeline infrastructure, and material suppliers that support drilling, extraction, and distribution operations throughout West Texas. In addition to energy, agriculture, aggregate materials, and environmental services also play significant roles in the local economy. As the self-proclaimed home of the "World’s First Rodeo," Pecos attracts thousands of visitors each year to the West of the Pecos Rodeo, a legendary event that celebrates the area’s Western heritage and draws regional tourism and media attention. Another key attraction is the West of the Pecos Museum, located in the historic Orient Hotel, which features three floors of exhibits on local Native American history, frontier life, and the railroad era. These cultural landmarks, along with the quaint shops and local eateries in Pecos’s historic downtown, contribute to the city’s identity as a heritage tourism destination.
