Flower Mound forms new bond committee On July 1, a new committee was set up in Flower Mound to create recommendations for capital improvements in town for the first time in 22 years. What you need to know The town is now facing capital demands that necessitate the engagement of a bond committee to package the projects before sending the decision to council, a council agenda memo states. The committee needed to be established this summer so council can receive the recommendations by the end of the year and call for a May election by early February, town officials said. “Our existing infrastructure is aging,” said Mayor Cheryl Moore via email. “In addition to this, we have a growing population who are using [amenities].”
Trotter Park design OK’d by Flower Mound council At a July 15 meeting, Flower Mound Town Council approved a conceptual master plan for the brand new Trotter Park, located on the west side of Flower Mound. The details The plan includes 12 pickleball courts and a half- mile trail. In addition, the 13-acre park will have a playground, basketball courts, a plaza and two tennis courts, among other amenities. The park will be located in the 4500 block of Cross Timbers Road. With the passage of the plan, town staff and representatives from consulting firm MHS Planning and Design will make modifications to the initial plan and adjust parking as needed, Chuck Jennings, town parks and recreation director said.
