Chief Peta’s playground receives grant through historical society
Eleven qualifying organizations have been awarded TNMP Power Grants for investment in communities served by Texas-New Mexico Power.
The grants, from the TNMP Fund, were made available to organizations for use in community safety, economic development, education and environmental efforts.
A total of $50,000 in funding was available. More than 40 nonprofits, municipalities and school districts applied for the grants, which were for up to $5,000 each.
“There are organizations doing great work in communities we serve across the state,” TNMP President Neal Walker said. “We’re glad we’re able to pitch in, too.”
Recipients are:
• North Montague County Historical Society and Museum: $5,000 toward upgrading and improving Enid Justin City Park in Nocona.
Phase one of the playground tot land was completed this past summer.
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.
