April 2019 marked the first anniversary for the opening of the Industrial Technology Center at North Central Texas College Bowie, and there are high hopes that growing awareness of the technical programs will help them grow.
The ITC was a project financed by the 4B Sales Tax Corporation, which has built and maintained the NCTC campus since it was established 19 years ago. The partnership between the economic development corporations, City of Bowie and NCTC has proven successful for the branch campus with the expansion of the building and programs through the years.
The ITC was a project more than two years in the planning stages as local officials worked with NCTC staff to develop an industrial technology program to serve the needs of the Montague County area.
At a cost of about $3 million, the 8,700-square-foot state-of-the-art facility opened to students last summer with plans to offer welding, machining and heat-ventilation and air conditioning installation and repair. It was unveiled to the public last April with a community celebration.

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.
