To plan for the future and comply with best practices, the master plan update for Denton Enterprise Airport is nearing completion.

The final draft of the master plan, including the airport layout plan, will be presented to council members in December, said Ryan Adams, director of Denton Enterprise Airport. 

The details: The airport’s master plan is designed to capture potential aviation demand over the next 20 years, Adams said. The process to update the current master plan, which was last updated in 2015, began in 2023, he added.

By 2044, the airport's demand for hangar space and the total number of takeoffs and landings are expected to grow.

Zooming in: As part of the update process, a project list worth around $421 million is included. Projects could take place over the next 20 years, airport officials said.

"It gives us options so that when the market pivots, we have already planned for that possibility and know how to meet that demand.”

What's next: The final draft will be presented to council Dec. 2.

Medical City Healthcare officials and local law enforcement agencies recovered over 1,500 pounds of unused medication in Dallas-Fort Worth as part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Oct. 25, according to a news release from the hospital system.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is moving forward with a set of permanent rules designed to prohibit the sale of consumable THC products to anyone under 21 years old.

The overview: The proposal is similar to emergency rules adopted Sept. 23, which are currently in effect and prohibit Texas alcohol retailers from selling intoxicating THC products to minors. The state health department adopted similar emergency rules in October.

The context: The existing and proposed THC rules are the result of a September executive order by Gov. Greg Abbott, who called for age restrictions on THC sales and tighter guardrails on the multibillion-dollar industry.

Earlier this month, federal lawmakers approved a ban on most consumable THC products, which is set to take effect in November 2026. The ban is part of a federal funding package that became law Nov. 12, ending a 43-day federal government shutdown.

Next steps: Texans can weigh in on the TABC's proposed permanent rules during a Dec. 11 virtual public hearing or submit written public comments through Jan. 4.
