Council designates Lockhart EDC as local liaison for Music Friendly Texas program
Summary
Council authorized Resolution 2025‑14 naming the Lockhart Economic Development Corporation as the city's liaison to the Texas Music Office and authorized the LEDC to execute a memorandum of understanding to maintain the Texas Music Industry Directory for Lockhart.
Lockhart City Council formalized the city's participation in the Music Friendly Texas program May 20 by approving a resolution that designates the Lockhart Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) as the city's liaison to the Texas Music Office in the Office of the Governor.
Background and action Economic development staff said the designation is largely a formality: Lockhart's Music Friendly recognition was publicly announced in December 2024 and celebrated in January. The approved resolution authorizes the LEDC to execute a memorandum of understanding with the Texas Music Office and designates the city's economic development director to upload and maintain Lockhart entries in the Texas Music Industry Directory once the state completes its directory revamp.
Quote "This is simply just a formality," Holly Malish, Economic Development Director, said, noting that the city and LEDC already have participated in Music Friendly activities.
What comes next The LEDC will execute the MOU with the Texas Music Office and will maintain the city's entries in the state music directory once the state repopulates or modernizes the directory interface.
