📰 News we're reading
• Residents voice concerns on removing age restriction for Medical Parkway apartment development (branchherald.com) — Farmers Branch residents are pushing back against a proposal to drop the 55-plus age restriction on a stalled Medical Parkway project and turn it into a 301-unit conventional apartment complex. Neighbors raised concerns about losing senior housing, traffic, and potential crime, while developers argued it would boost schools and local spending. The Planning and Zoning Commission will take up the request August 10 at City Hall. 
• Code Care seeks volunteers for neighborhood home repair projects (branchherald.com) — Farmers Branch is recruiting volunteers for its Code Care program, which helps residents who can’t manage basic exterior home maintenance on their own. You can join as an individual or group to tackle small repairs, yard work, and cleanup projects that keep neighbors safely in their homes. Interested residents should contact the city’s Code Enforcement Division to apply and get matched with projects.
• Men's college basketball: NSU announces addition of 11 newcomers (bossierpress.com) — A former Parish Episcopal standout from Farmers Branch is among 11 newcomers joining the Northwestern State men’s basketball roster for the 2026-27 season. Twin guards Antoine and Armon Almuttar, plus several transfers and freshmen from around the country, are expected to bolster the Demons’ depth and competitiveness this year.
