As the new year gets underway, officials with the county’s two largest city economic development programs are excited to see some of the fruits of their labors come to a completion this year.
For the Bowie and Nocona Economic Development Corporations, the past year has been a roller coaster working to recruit new businesses but also focusing on helping existing businesses survive the pandemic.
This past weekend the 2022 projections from local governments focused on infrastructure, and for the EDCs, it will be similar but include not only building but developing a workforce to keep all the businesses viable.

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
Bowie High School staff and students welcomed veterans for their annual tribute and breakfast on Veterans Day. Members of the FFA, Kyle Keeler and Rylan Cole folded the American flag as each fold was explained during the ceremony.
