Good morning, Denton.

A new permanent Boys & Girls Club will soon open at 195 W.

Corporate Drive in Lewisville — a former fire station — and it will offer low-cost after school and summer programs to Denton County children. It is managed by Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County with a $3 million donation from Denton County using remaining American Rescue Plan funds.
