Nocona Council approves NEDC requests, grant engineer contract

The Nocona City Council approved an engineer’s contract for a hazard mitigation grant, and accepted a pair of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests at last week’s meeting.
Biggs & Matthews, Inc. contract for the Hazard Mitigation Grant program moved forward. City Secretary Revell Hardison explained the engineer had to be named when the original application was made in 2022, but the city could not sign the contract until it was awarded the grant funds. That approval came at the end of 2024. This grant will fund two generators at the sewer plants and one at city hall.
One NEDC request was finalized and one initiated at the Jan. 14 meeting. The 60-day clock expired for the request to expend funds for Jerry Woods Funeral Home’s loan agreement for $100,000. The group can now move forward to spend funds for repairs at the business.
