Members of the Bowie City Council approved phase one for 10 lots in a major new subdivision development next to the elementary school.
At the April 14 meeting, the replat for the Kingdom Ridge subdivision local off Upper Montague Road and Teglan Drive was up for discussion. Bill Calabretta, chairman of the planning and zoning commission, said that group gave its approval for the phase one replat.
Buck Ross of Kingdom Construction spoke to the council about his family’s plan for the subdivision which would have a total of 67 lots developed across four phases. Phase one has 10 lots in quarter-acre tracts.
“Our goal is to get more affordable housing maybe in the $200,000 range, but our plan may have to evolve in the future. This is the first major subdivision for new homes to be developed in many years,” said Ross.

The annual summer chlorine conversion at the City of Bowie Water Treatment Plant will run Aug. 6 to Sept. 5.
Jerry Sutton, plant supervisor, said customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with the water during this period as the treatment system changes disinfectant. This is a yearly state mandate for the conversion. Questions may be directed to the water plant at 940-872-6414
The plant uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Across a period of time those ingredients build up in the system and it takes a change to straight chlorine across 28 days to clear it out. At the end of 30 days the water should return to normal.
