Fall has come to Shady Shores and with it some much needed Rain!

How much do you know about your Denton County Government and your County Commissioner?  We have a special event happening in December to meet and greet your County Commissioner Kevin Falconer.

Commissioner Kevin Falconer  will be at Town Hall during the Town Council Work session on December 11, 2023, at 6 pm.   This is your opportunity to learn more about Denton County, its activities and how they work with our Town.   

One area that the Town and the County are working together is on road projects.  The Town has 4 major road projects that are  have been approved through the County bond project and are currently in the planning stages with the County and sister municipalities.  The County roads bond package (Trip 2022),  approved by the voters last year is providing some amount of funding for each of the 4 projects at varying levels for each project.  

Please join us at this meet and greet and have a cookie and coffee/water with us on December 11, 2023, at 6 pm!
