• Denton residents will see Atmos gas rates increase on Oct. 1 (keranews.org) — Denton residents will see their Atmos Energy gas bills jump starting Oct. 1, after the City Council unanimously approved a settlement that raises average residential bills by about $13.37 a month. City leaders called the increase “incredibly high,” but were advised that rejecting the deal could lead to costly legal battles and potentially even higher rates set by state regulators. 
• Major infrastructure projects advance as Cole Ranch takes shape - Cross Timbers Gazette Southern Denton County Flower Mound (crosstimbersgazette.com) — Major growth is coming to southwest Denton as construction ramps up on the 3,100-acre Cole Ranch development, bringing thousands of homes plus new utilities, roads, schools, and green space. City-backed water, wastewater, and Loop 288 projects, along with gas well closures and a future CoServ substation, aim to support long-term Denton growth and relieve congestion citywide.
• Northlake resident awarded one of Korea's highest honors - Cross Timbers Gazette Southern Denton County Flower Mound (crosstimbersgazette.com) — A Northlake resident in southern Denton County, Sherri Steward, has received one of South Korea’s highest civilian honors for decades of work honoring Korean War veterans.
