Design Downtown Denton Project
The Design Downtown Denton Plan was adopted on September 17, 2024. The Design Downtown Denton Plan is a strategic blueprint for the next 20-years aimed at enhancing the vitality and character of Downtown Denton. This plan addresses key areas such as parks, housing, mobility, and historic preservation.
Developed over a year with extensive community input, it provides a comprehensive guide for decision-making and resource allocation, ensuring that Denton's downtown remains vibrant, resilient, and responsive to the needs of its residents and businesses.
