Bowie City Council debates closing a small portion of road at request of WL Plastics
After much debate, the Bowie City Council voted 6-1 to close a small portion of Old Wise Road to allow WL Plastics to secure its property with new fencing and use it as a private drive.
Tuesday night, the planning and zoning commission recommended approval of the two requests from WL Plastics; however, council members questioned if this change meets the fire code and if the city can give up its land. Jerry Rodgers, local manager of the Bowie plastic pipe plant, explained the requests. Item one: WL Plastics, 1110 Old Wise Road, to close .57 portion for the proposed use as a private drive.

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.
