4B Board exploring ideas for a vocational technology building at NCTC-Bowie
By BARBARA GREEN
Could a new industrial technology center be in North Central Texas College-Bowie’s future?
The Bowie 4B Economic Development Sales Corporation board is gathering information on a possible project that would in turn be presented to the city council and public for consideration.
Janis Crawley, executive director for the 4B board, said at its last meeting on May 23 the directors voted to retain Bundy, Young, Sims and Potter Architects, the same company that designed the new 10,000 square-foot Information Technology Center that opened in March at the Gainesville campus.
Staff from the architectural firm met with the 4B to discuss the possibilities of using the same blueprint on the Bowie campus property, which Crawley said could save a lot of money.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
