Portion of McCormick Street to Close Permanently
New Fire Station 3 Leads to Road Closure
DENTON, TX, March 7, 2018—Starting Monday, March 11, the City of Denton will close a
segment of McCormick Street, from Underwood Street to Avenue A, in preparation for the
reconstruction of Fire Station 3.
The new Fire Station 3 will be located on the west side of McCormick Street, immediately across
the street from the current station location. The new Fire Station 3 will be an estimated 14,350-
square-foot facility, with four apparatus bays, and room for a police office. The station is being
built to accommodate growth, with the ability to house an additional ladder truck, one additional
battalion chief, and up to 12 firefighters in the future.
Due to the increased building footprint of the new station, the small portion of McCormick Street
between Underwood Street and Avenue A will be closed. Both the Traffic Safety Commission
and City Council approved the permanent road closure in early 2018.
