The Bowie Economic Development Corporation will have a groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m. Oct. 28 to launch the construction of the new Bowie Business Park located along U.S. Highway 287 and Farm-to-Market Road 1125.
Janis Crawley, executive director of the BEDC said, they invite everyone to “Kick some dirt with us,” as the project gets underway.
In mid-September the contracts were signed with Wilson Construction of Wichita Falls at a bid cost of $2,258,866.15. The contract includes the installation of an eight-inch concrete road in the park and all the utilities, which will be located underground.

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.
