In a decisive move during the Grayson County regular meeting on August 19, 2025, commissioners approved the subdivision of a 19.246-acre tract in Phillips Creek Estates into three lots. The decision, which aligns with Grayson County Subdivision regulations, was unanimously supported following a motion by Commissioner Arthur and a second from Commissioner Hardenberg.

The meeting also highlighted upcoming community engagement efforts, with Commissioner Wright announcing the scheduling of five town halls across the county to discuss the county assistance district. The first town hall is set for September 2 in the West Courtroom, with additional meetings planned in Van Alstyne, Whitesboro, Whitewright, and Pottsboro throughout September and October.

Commissioners took the opportunity to remind residents about increased traffic due to the return of school, urging caution around school buses and roadwork areas. Commissioner Hardenberg specifically noted ongoing construction efforts in collaboration with the City of Denison and the Army Corps, emphasizing the importance of safety for both workers and drivers.

As the meeting concluded, commissioners expressed gratitude for community support and encouraged residents to remain vigilant on the roads as the new school year begins.
