Bowie seeks downtown revitalization grant
The City of Bowie is applying for a Downtown Revitalization Program grant that could bring up to $500,000 to a project to preserve brick streets and pedestrian walkways in the most historic area of the community.
Cindy Roller, executive director of Bowie Community Development, with the help of Janis Crawley, executive director for Bowie Economic Development, have been gathering information for the application which will be written by the Nortex Regional Planning Commission.
City Manager Bert Cunningham told the city council last week the two directors did a great job of figuring out what is needed and writing about what we will do if the grant is successful. The application is due June 1.

The annual summer chlorine conversion at the City of Bowie Water Treatment Plant will run Aug. 6 to Sept. 5.
Jerry Sutton, plant supervisor, said customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with the water during this period as the treatment system changes disinfectant. This is a yearly state mandate for the conversion. Questions may be directed to the water plant at 940-872-6414
The plant uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Across a period of time those ingredients build up in the system and it takes a change to straight chlorine across 28 days to clear it out. At the end of 30 days the water should return to normal.
