Public gets second look at proposed 82 widening project
A pair of open house meetings are planned for Nocona and Henrietta this week to explore proposed improvements to U.S. Highway 82 from Henrietta to Nocona.
The Texas Department of Transportation has scheduled the first open house from 5 to 7 p.m. on Jan. 22 in Henrietta at the Holman Center, 211 N. Clay.
The second open house is 5 to 7 p.m. on Jan. 23 in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post at 100 Baylor.
The focus of the U.S. 82 project is widening to four lanes to improve connectivity, decrease traffic congestion and increase mobility between the towns of Henrietta and Nocona, including Ringgold. TxDOT began planning for this project in late 2016 and had the first round of public meetings in early 2017.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
