What is DNA?
The Denton Neighborhood Alliance
(DNA) is a consortium of neighborhood associations and interested
citizens joined together to pursue goals of common interest.
Mission Statement
The Denton Neighborhood Alliance
recognizes that the neighborhood is the basic building block
of the community. With rapid growth, new pressures are put on
residential neighborhoods that have the potential to erode the
character of established neighborhoods. The mission of the DNA
is to foster and promote the preservation of the residential
neighborhoods in Denton through networking, education, advocacy
and by supporting and encouraging neighborhood associations.<
