Denton residents, mark your calendars! The City Council will be opening the floor to public opinion for a potentially transformative annexation proposal. According to an announcement from the city, a hearing is set to take place on May 21, 2024, to discuss the future of roughly 92 acres located north of Johnson Lane and south of Allred Road. The Denton City Council is inviting locals to have their say on the Dentex Tract Annexation, which could usher in new developments into the area.

The tract in question, sitting cozily 2325 feet east of John Paine Road, has caught the eye of city officials and the council is pondering whether to take this land under Denton’s wing. City agent Tyler Stang is the name tied to the project, and he can be reached at (469) 200-4464 for those wanting the scoop ahead of the meeting. The council has made it clear that the session is not just a formality but an actual platform for people to voice their support or concerns about the annexation, as stated in the City of Denton, Texas.

For those looking to attend, the Council Chambers at City Hall, 215 E. McKinney St., will be the venue where Denton's future could be shaped. Set for 6:30 p.m., the process won't be behind closed doors; a physical presence is expected, notably from applicants and their representatives. The council has the prerogative to approve a request that aligns with the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan, potentially green-lighting a development path for the annexed land.
