The new industrial technology center at North Central Texas College Bowie is taking shape at the local campus generating buzz about the future programs and drawing students to the first welding programs now underway at Bowie High School.
The IT center is a project of the Bowie 4B Sales Tax Corporation, which financed and maintained the original Bowie campus building at Mill and U.S. 287 17 years ago.
This new addition has been in the planning stage for more than two years and ground was broken on July 10. The 4B Board and NCTC officials have worked closely to develop a industrial technology program that can serve the needs of the Montague County area.
Bowie’s center will be 8,700-square feet slightly smaller than the 10,000-square foot ITC that opened in March 2016 on the Gainesville campus. It will house industrial programs like welding, machining and heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
