City of Bowie appears to be leaning toward highway site for new complex
No decision has been announced but the Bowie City Council appears to be leaning toward a future municipal building on U.S. 287 as it puts up three pieces of property for sealed bids.
After a brief 30-minute executive session Tuesday night, the city council voted unanimously to put out for bids the 1.37 acres at 508 N. Mason, which had been considered as a possible location for a new municipal complex.
The land was bought for $300,000 in December 2014, after Wellington Bank purchased another building and opted not to build in that site.
City Manager Ricky Tow said Wednesday while the council had not made any specific decision on a location “the nine acres is the direction I have been given.” Read the full story on this week’s council session in the weekend News.
