Highland Village is addressing a budget deficit of over $2.1 million. The city council and staff have begun discussing ways to reduce the deficit, with another meeting scheduled for next week.

The deficit is part of a larger financial challenge facing many municipalities in southern Denton County and the state. Factors contributing to the deficit include rising costs and limits on local revenue growth.

Further details on the city's plans to mitigate the deficit are expected to be discussed at the upcoming meeting. For more information, readers can refer to the original source.
