AUSTIN, Texas (KTRE) - Rep. Trent Ashby joined Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan and other legislators to promote his broadband bill as health care legislation.
Ashby’s HB 5 would create a broadband office at the comptroller of public accounts to pinpoint and address areas of the state with the worst broadband capabilities.
Ashby (R-Lufkin) said his bill would be a tremendous boost to telehealth efforts and cited a bill authored by Rep. Four Price (R-Amarillo) which would expand telehealth access.

Amazon confirms placement of fulfillment center in Amarillo
Officials with Amazon announced plans Thursday to open a new fulfillment center in Amarillo, creating more than 500 new full-time jobs for the area and having an approximate $35 million economic impact on the city when it is expected to open in early 2022.
This comes after the Potter County Commissioners’ Court and the Amarillo City Council approved a tax abatement agreement from the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation among the county, city, Happy Horizons Properties, LP, ET Amarillo LLC and Amazon.com Services LLC.
According to previous Globe-News reports, the fulfillment center will be a new, 1 million-square-foot facility located on 110.39 acres at NE 24th Street and Loop 335. There will be $100 million in capital investment for the facility, with $70 million going toward the building itself and $30 million in equipment.
