Nocona city offices relocate to renovated building in downtown
The Nocona City offices are moved and back in operation, although everyone on staff agrees it will be a while before they are fully organized.
The city offices were closed last week as they moved into their new offices at 102 Clay Street, adjacent to the H.J. Justin Community Center.
Cindy McCracken, utility billing administrator, laughed on Monday morning they were still trying to figure out how the new phones worked, but if she lost me in the transfer call back.
City staffers extend their appreciation to customers for their patience as the changeover took place out of the longtime location at 100 Cooke Street.
City Manager Lynn Henley said the move went well although they still have some things to finish up.
“The move went fine and we should be in good shape here, there is a lot more room. The council room is not done yet, I am building a table for that room. We don’t have a November meeting planned at this time,” said Henley.

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.
