Montague County hopes to receive nearly $390,000 to help make road repairs as it completes an application for the second round of state funding.
The commissioner’s court approved a resolution that will wrap up the process and move the precincts closer to $389,197 which they are eligible for in the Country Infrastructure Fund grant program. The first grants were given back in 2014 when so many counties across the state experienced major road damage due to the boom in energy production. Montague County received $2.6 million in that round.
Last year, the State Legislature approved $224,500,000 for the new program. Counties will have to provide a 20 percent match.

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.
