Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Denton residents call for data center moratorium (dallasnews.com) — Denton residents packed a city hearing to urge council members to pause new data center approvals, citing worries about power grid strain and noise in their neighborhoods. The proposed 90-day moratorium, extendable to six months, wouldn't stop centers already underway but could shape how and whether future facilities are allowed in Denton, with another public hearing set for Oct. 27.
2. Sundt breaks ground on Denton wastewater plant expansion (smartwatermagazine.com) — Denton's Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant is getting a major expansion to boost capacity, reliability, and environmental protection as the city grows. Construction, led by Sundt, will keep the existing plant operating while adding new treatment, disinfection, and solids-handling systems to strengthen the city's wastewater infrastructure for years to come.
3. TxDOT I-35E/I-35W interchange rebuild in Denton to run through 2029 (communityimpact.com) — Drivers in Denton will be living with I‑35E/I‑35W interchange construction through 2029 as TxDOT rebuilds and widens nearly five miles of freeway and frontage roads. The massive project aims to ease congestion and improve safety for local commuters, university students, freight traffic, and everyone passing through the city's busy corridor.
4. Denton County adopts budget with lower tax rate and public safety prioritized - Cross Timbers Gazette Southern Denton County Flower Mound (crosstimbersgazette.com) — Denton County has adopted a new budget that slightly lowers the county property tax rate while pouring millions into public safety, courts, roads, and technology. For Denton residents, that means a small tax-rate decrease, continued investment in law enforcement and road work, and efforts to keep county staff pay competitive as the fast-growing county tops 1.1 million people.
5. Touched By Suicide Walk returns to Flower Mound for 20th year - Cross Timbers Gazette Southern Denton County Flower Mound (crosstimbersgazette.com) — Residents of Denton County are invited to Flower Mound's Touched By Suicide Reflection and Remembrance Walk this Saturday, offering support to anyone affected by suicide. With dozens of suicide deaths already confirmed in the county this year, organizers emphasize shared remembrance, self‑care activities, and scholarships so cost doesn't prevent anyone from attending.
