Nocona continues exploring fiber optic network options
The Nocona Economic Development Corporations staff announces the next step in considering a fiber optic network around the Nocona area with a public meeting at 11 a.m. on Nov. 19 in the Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum, 1522 E Hwy 82.
This meeting seeks to educate interested citizens about what and where a fiber optic network might work.
“We received responses of more than 30 percent to the survey last month,” said James Yohe, executive director for the Nocona EDCs. “Based on the level of responses there is definitely interest in such a project. Now we need to discuss what might be built and where.”
John Padalino, the Nocona EDCs’ consultant with broadband project experience at the state and federal level, will facilitate the meeting.
Also expected to be in attendance are technical experts from various companies who have expressed an interest in the project.
Questions can be directed to the NEDC office at 825-3150. All interested people are welcome.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
