Bowie ED entities hang out ‘under construction’ signs
By BARBARA GREEN
Bowie’s economic development entities hung the “Under Construction” signs with two major building projects getting underway as 2017 opens.
Janis Crawley, executive director for the Bowie Economic Development Corporation and 4B Sales Tax Corporation, said 2016 was tough in dealing with potential clients who had concerns about no medical care after the hospital closed.
“We had to approach it explaining the proximity to the nearest hospital is close, but it’s a hard thing to overcome. Medical is one of the top three things a business looks for in a locale. That will change when the new one opens,” said Crawley.
The BEDC broke ground in late October on the 123-acre Bowie Business Park located along U.S. Highway 287 South and Farm-to-Market Road 1125. The 4B Board has plans to start a new industrial technology facility at North Central Texas College Bowie this spring.

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
