The final draft of the city’s Design Downtown Denton plan is now available online. This comprehensive plan outlines how the city plans to revitalize and enhance downtown Denton over the next decade. City staff designed the plan after months of community engagement and feedback.

The city asked the community to provide comments on how the downtown area could be improved or changed and used these answers to identify a list of community priorities for the future.
