The City of Denton has initiated a planning process to update its Historic Preservation Plan. Community-supported preservation planning policies and recommendations that build on prior preservation programs and initiatives, along with key implementation strategies for short and long-term actions will be the end result of this process. Denton residents have shown commitment to preserving their city and have paved the way to a successful Plan.  The City of Denton has engaged The Lakota Group and a team of consultants to complete the Historic Preservation Plan.

The Lakota Team: a Chicago based urban planning and landscape architecture team, understands that there is immediacy and importance to updating a Historic Preservation Plan. Communities today must respond and be resilient to the various planning efforts, plan for needed investments in various systems, ensure the adequate and equitable distribution of community services, promote quality-built environments, and consider the integration of natural resources in the enhancement of citizen health, recreation, and quality of life.

The process was comprised of two major phases:

Phase 1: State of the City
Phase 2: Strategic Historic Preservation Plan

Through over twenty years of facilitating successful community engagement processes as part of many planning assignments, we have developed and adapted our outreach program to include community dialogue at all levels and through various mediums. Each program is tailored to a community’s individual character and unique goals in a process that is creative, logical, and participatory.
