Highland Village officials approve interlocal agreement with Denton County for road reconstruction

Highland Village City Council members unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with Denton County to fund the Highland Shores Boulevard reconstruction project at a Sept. 23 meeting.

This comes after the city approved selling around $7.08 million in certificates of obligation for this project, as well as the reconstruction of Highland Village Road, at a Sept. 9 meeting.

The details

The Highland Shores Boulevard reconstruction project consists of replacing the concrete pavement section with new pavement, enhancing drainage, enhancing pedestrian and traffic safety and calming traffic from the intersection of Briarhill Boulevard to Twin Coves Drive, according to city documents

The project will cost a total of $10.2 million. The city of Highland Village will pay $5.5 million, funded through certificates of obligation.

The city will repay those funds over a 20-year period, said Amber Chien, assistant vice president at Hilltop Securities.

Denton County has agreed to pay for the other 50% of the project, not to exceed $5.54 million.

This project could be under construction as soon as 2026, city documents state.
