Business Recovery Adviser Michael Carmichael has set up his Small Business Development Center office and is ready to assist area business people with their needs whether it’s exploring a new idea or finding resources to help make it through tough times.
That new office is located at North Central Texas College Bowie, ready to serve all of Montague County, along with Denton and Cooke Counties through the SBDC North Texas. Part of a nationwide system, the SBDC is designed to provide potential and existing businesses in these counties with practical assistance needed to survive, grow and prosper.
Development of a Montague County office had been in the works since just before the pandemic started as officials determined Montague County was an under-served area. The focus then switched to business recovery related to COVID-19. For the Bowie area these needs became even more prevalent following the late May tornado.

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.
