2. Sherman Council OKs plans for new housing (kten.com) — Sherman’s City Council has approved two large housing developments totaling more than 300 acres on the city’s north and south sides, aiming to manage rapid growth. Sherman Lakes and Joiner Ranch will each include 50 acres of open space after residents pushed for lower density and preservation of Grayson County’s natural character, though construction timelines now rest with the property owners.
3.
