Bowie hospital sold; will become Central Hospital of Bowie
It was the end of a long journey, but Monday Bowie Hospital Authority directors signed the sales agreement with Bowie Real Estate Holdings, L.P., operated by Dr. Faraz Hashmi. The company will buy the hospital and several of its adjacent buildings for $1.5 million. The parties will shoot for a May 16 closing date. Dr. Hashmi said the new name for the reopened hospital will be Central Hospital of Bowie, and the company has plans for it to be part of a system that will ultimately expand to a regional health care center. BHA Chairman Tim Winn and Dr. Hashmi signed the documents, followed by a toast by those present. Read the full story in the mid-week News.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
