Bowie manager updates council on varied projects
Things continue to look good for the City of Bowie receiving a $9.3 million loan from the Texas Water Development Board to replace an estimated 30 percent of the sewer lines across the city.
City Manager Bert Cunningham updated the Bowie City Council on several projects during its Monday night meeting. The application for the TWDB low-interest loan has been in the works since February and many months before exploring the financing opportunities. He added this letter is positive news the process is moving.
A Dec. 22, 2020 letter from the state agency said the city’s application has been received for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. It states this project is eligible to receive a non-equivalency loan for the amount requested $9.3 million and it will be processed in accordance with the amended state fiscal year intended use plan.
