New Terminal Opens at North Texas Regional Airport

Rise Aviation began operating out of its new Fixed Base Operator (FBO) terminal at North Texas Regional Airport (NTRA) on August 1, 2022.  FBO refers to an airport business which handles private aviation, aircraft passengers and services. 

The new multimillion-dollar facility, which is the first of three planned construction phases, welcomes the flying public to a comfortable and spacious passenger lobby with multiple seating areas, refreshment bar, 12-seat conference room, business center, pilot lounge, quiet room, flight-planning area, on-site car rental and 1,750 sq. ft. of tenant suites.  The FBO also provides office space for the NTRA airport administration. 

Rise Aviation, formerly Lake Texoma Jet Center, also has 67,000 sq ft of hanger space that can accommodate ultra-long-range business jets, along with 25 acres of ramp for aircraft parking.  Rise also operates four additional facilities at the airport containing 32,400 sq ft of office and shop space. 

The new terminal will be an attractive welcome to Grayson County for many business owners and investors considering expansion, relocation, or new business ventures in Grayson County.  North Texas regional Airport (formerly Perrin AFB) is located between the cities of Sherman and Denison, with easy access to Lake Texoma.  

Governor Abbott announces $197,00 grant for Grayson College

Governor Abbott announces $197,00 grant for Grayson College

August 26, 2022 | Austin, Texas

Governor Greg Abbott today announced Grayson College has been awarded a more than $197,000 grant from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to support career training. The Jobs and Education for Texans (JET) funding will help the Grayson County community college purchase and install high-fidelity manikin simulators for the Associate of Science Degree in Nursing program, providing hands-on training and real-life scenario experience for students.

“The State of Texas continues investing in educational opportunities and healthcare programs, ensuring Texans across the state are equipped with the skills needed to thrive in their chosen career and help make our state healthier,” said Governor Abbott. “Our students are our future, and in partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission, we are opening the doors to opportunity for every Texan and securing a bright future for all.”

“This nursing skills training is critical to meet the demand for healthcare occupations and the growing need for nurses in the Sherman-Denison area,” said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. “Thanks to Grayson College, this grant will help more students benefit from hands-on learning in a critical occupation that can quickly connect them not only a good job, but a great career.”

Through funding provided by the Legislature each biennium, TWC uses JET grants to defray start-up costs associated with developing career and technical education programs for the public community, state and technical colleges, and school districts. The 87th Texas Legislature added open-enrollment charter schools and the Windham School District as eligible applicants.
