Denton, Texas -- The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will host a public meeting from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2019 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center, 3100 Town Center Trail in Denton to discuss improvements to Farm-to-Market (FM) 1515 from Masch Branch Street to Bonnie Brae Street in Denton County.
