A Wichita Falls businessman says plans for a new medium to high grade furniture plant in Bowie hinge on water arrangements and material supply. If built the facility would start with about 15 workers plus a foreman and grow to 735 within a year, sourcing wood from the Carolinas and Virginias and fabrics from New England. The project would involve local hiring and community integration amid potential wartime material shortages.
