McKinney Council Appoints Brian Lochmiller and Chantal Cadala to Economic Development Board

The McKinney City Council held a special meeting on August 26, 2025, where key appointments to the McKinney Economic Development Corporation and the McKinney Community Development Corporation were discussed and voted on.

During the meeting, Councilman Franklin proposed a motion to appoint Brian Lochmiller as a regular member of the McKinney Economic Development Corporation, while moving Chantelle Cadala to the position of alternate member. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones. After a brief discussion, the council voted, resulting in a 5-2 approval for Lochmiller's one-year term and Cadala's new two-year term as an alternate.

Following this, the council turned its attention to the McKinney Community Development Corporation. Council members noted the need to fill a one-year term, previously held by Ms. Richardson Woods. Councilman Cloutier highlighted the qualifications of two candidates, Whitney Nash and Katie Scott, both of whom have demonstrated strong community involvement and leadership. While he expressed a preference for Nash, no formal motion was made at that time.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to appointing qualified individuals to key positions, ensuring effective governance and community development in McKinney. Further discussions and decisions regarding the Community Development Corporation are anticipated in future meetings.
