The new Denton County Government Center, which held its soft opening June 12, is now open in Frisco.
The $8 million, 24,000-square-foot center includes the county clerk’s office, the justice of the peace Precinct 2, the county constable Precinct 2, the county tax office and an office for the state representative. It also includes adult and juvenile probation offices.
“This building has been something that I planned on since I was elected,” said Hugh Coleman, Denton County commissioner for Precinct 1, which covers part of Frisco. “I always knew in my mind that someday we needed to serve this population, The Colony and Little Elm and Eastern Denton County. I really worked hard through my terms as commissioner to make sure that this area of the county was represented.”
The new center replaces another government center located in The Colony. That building was sold to the city of The Colony and will be turned into a city park, Coleman said.
