TxDOT pretreats for potential winter storm
All nine counties (Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young) in the Wichita Falls District spent today preparing for the winter storm predicted overnight and tomorrow. TxDOT crews pretreated bridges, overpasses, and some main lanes with brine today. Our storage tanks are full of brine, and we will be making more during the storm to keep our supply full. Other snow/ice supplies are at capacity. All 12 maintenance sections will start 12-hour shifts overnight. If you find yourself in an accident or stranded on the side of the road, CALL 9-1-1. Do not use social media to report emergencies. Resources: Residents are encouraged to like the TxDOT Wichita Falls Facebook page.

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.
