The improvements are part of a five-year improvement plan, DME engineer Mark Zimmerer said. The improvement projects require new steel towers, transmission pole foundation construction and repairs to electrical infrastructure from storms and extreme weather.
City documents show that the projects will happen at the Underwood substation at Underwood Road and FM 2449, as well as near East and West Loop 288. Denton External Affairs Administrator Stuart Birdseye said the projects are still under development, and work locations have not been finalized.
