Meyer Park ready for reintroduction party
Beautify Our Bowie, the community-wide beautification committee, will celebrate the clean-up and fix up of Meyer Park with a party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
The park is located at U.S. 81 and Adkins Street. Dillon Steen, chairman of BOB, said the response from the community has been tremendous to help paint benches and picnic tables at the park, along with a general clean-up.
More than a dozen businesses and individuals took on a table or bench, while others helped paint the Lions building and others donated paint and supplies.
This is the first major project for BOB along with several other clean-up days. Steen said they are excited to show off all the hard work and for families to enjoy a day in one of city’s oldest parks.
Meyer Park was donated to the city on Oct. 8, 1923 by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Meyer. Through the year various city groups have helped with improvements made at the park. Read the full story in the mid-week Bowie 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.
