Bowie City Council approves ED project for NCTC-Bowie
The Bowie City Council Tuesday night approved an economic development project that will construct an industrial technology center at the Bowie campus. Several members of the North Central Texas College staff attended the council meeting tonight along with members of the 4B Economic Development Sales Tax Corporation to present the project.
Following a brief executive session to discuss the contract addendum between the 4B Board and NCTC, the project was discussed and now goes into the 60-day public comment phase. The proposal would build an 8,750 sq. ft. building at the local campus at an estimated cost of $2.8 million. It would be a smaller version of the building that opened at NCTC-Gainesville earlier this year.

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.
