Carrollton just landed a multi-million-dollar assist from Denton County to help rip up and rebuild two of its busiest corridors.
At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Denton County Commissioner Kevin Falconer presented $9,625,000 to the City of Carrollton to support the reconstruction of Hebron Parkway and Frankford Road. City officials said the county contribution will cover roughly 50 percent of the two projects’ combined estimated cost.
The City of Carrollton announced the move in a post on X that included a scanned county document showing a payment memo for “Hebron Parkway and Frankford Road.” The City of Carrollton attached the document and described the funds as intended to support reconstruction work, also noting a separate scanned payment of $825,000.

County cash follows earlier roadwork deals
Denton County’s Commissioners Court had already laid the groundwork, authorizing interlocal cooperation agreements and TRIP allocations for segments of Hebron Parkway and portions of Frankford Road. Those approvals set county contribution limits and spelled out eligible uses such as engineering, right of way acquisition, utility relocations, inspections, and construction. Multiple motions on the county agenda and in meeting minutes backed those agreements and funding line items. Denton County’s agenda outlines the project descriptions and funding authorizations.
How the money gets used and paid out
City staff told council the Denton County contributions are reimbursable and will be drawn down as project milestones are reached. In practice, that means Carrollton fronts eligible expenses during design and construction, then submits those costs to the county for payment.
Earlier council briefings tied the Hebron and Frankford work to the city’s capital program and to previous interlocal agreements with the county, framing the county dollars as a key piece of a larger funding puzzle. Carrollton City Council video includes staff discussion of the reimbursement process and how it coordinates with city bond funding.
Falconer brings Carrollton roots to the table
Falconer represents Precinct 2 on the Denton County Commissioners Court and previously served as Carrollton’s mayor, giving him deep ties to the very streets he is helping fund. Denton County’s official profile notes his Carrollton background and his role in directing TRIP bond dollars toward local road work.
What drivers should expect on the ground
With county funding in place, city engineers can push ahead with right-of-way work and utility relocations before major construction kicks in. Once that heavier work starts, drivers can expect the usual mix of temporary lane closures and detours that come with full reconstruction projects.
City staff said the council will share construction timelines and traffic notices as phases are scheduled. Street and drainage projects rank among Carrollton’s capital priorities, and Carrollton’s budget documents show the city’s capital planning for 2026.
Officials at both the county and city levels described the award as a major step toward rebuilding two heavily traveled corridors in south Carrollton. The city plans to post construction updates on its website and social channels as work is scheduled. For residents, the key points are the $9,625,000 figure, the roughly 50 percent county share, and the fact that reimbursements will flow as Carrollton hits design and construction milestones.
