In keeping with Nocona’s historic past and its bright future, the NEDC has targeted several areas of focus for business development:

• Firearms / Ammunition Industry – aligns well with our Chisholm Trail heritage
• Craft Manufacturing Industry – current leather craft businesses would form a synergy for other areas of craft manufacturing
• Hotel / Motel / Bed & Breakfast Inns – tourism growth spurred by our festivals and museums create great opportunities
• Vineyards / Wineries – Montague County vineyards are already making a name for themselves along the Red River Wine Trail
