DENTON COUNTY Highland Vil- lage and Flower Mound were ranked among the safest cities in which to live, according to two 2022 reports. SafeWise named Highland Village the seventh-safest city in Texas. The report determines safest cities by analyzing 2020 FBI crime statistics and population data. Based on SafeWise’s ndings, Highland Village reported fewer than two violent crimes per 1,000 people and 15.1 or fewer property crimes per 1,000 people. Of the 50 cities included, Highland Village was one of seven DFW suburbs to make the top 10. In a separate report by SafeWise, Flower Mound was ranked the fourth-safest city to raise a family in the U.S. It has a population of 80,907. The ndings were based on nationwide FBI crime report statistics and population data.
LEWISVILLE The Lewisville City Council approved a lease agree- ment with First Baptist Church Lewisville for the operation of a temporary re station on June 20. The church is located at 1251 Valley Ridge Blvd. The temporary re station is needed because Fire Station No. 1 will be torn down and rebuilt as part of the Joint Public Safety Building. It is a 24-month lease ending on May 31, 2024, with a six-month extension, if needed. Funding comes from the Joint Public Safety Building construction budget.
