McKinney reports $12M revenue and updates on capital improvement projects

During the recent meeting of the McKinney Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on May 27, 2025, members reviewed the city’s financial status and ongoing infrastructure projects, highlighting significant developments that will benefit the community.

The committee reported a strong financial position, with the city starting the year with approximately $6 million in revenues. After accounting for refunds, the total balance now stands at around $12 million, indicating a positive trend compared to previous years. This financial health is crucial as it supports ongoing and future projects that enhance the city’s infrastructure.

Key projects discussed included the extension of Stone Bridge Roadway, which will improve access beyond Highway 380, and the construction of Wilma's Road. These developments are expected to ease traffic and improve connectivity for residents. Additionally, the committee is collaborating with the Texas Department of Transportation on improvements to Highway 5, further enhancing the city’s roadways.

In terms of utility services, the committee noted that the utility impact fee service area remains consolidated, with a total of about $9.8 million collected this year. This includes significant investments in water and wastewater projects, such as the extension of trunk lines and the construction of a sewer master line along Stonebridge Road. These upgrades are essential for supporting ongoing development and ensuring reliable utility services for residents.

The committee recommended filing the capital improvements plan, which outlines the progress of these projects. This recommendation will be forwarded to the city council for action at their upcoming meeting on June 17.

As McKinney continues to grow, these infrastructure improvements and financial strategies are vital for maintaining a high quality of life for residents and accommodating future development needs. The community can look forward to enhanced roadways and utility services that will support its ongoing expansion.
