During the McKinney Community Development Corporation meeting on September 25, 2025, a significant proposal took center stage: a request to amend a project grant aimed at enhancing local infrastructure. The board discussed a plan to increase funding for Project 4B 24-15, originally awarded to Sanchez Charities LLC, from $517,192 to an impressive $1,717,000. This funding boost is intended to support the construction of a new facility on a three-acre site at 2000 West White Avenue, which will span between 35,000 to 45,000 square feet.

The proposed amendment also includes Catholic Charities of Dallas as an additional eligible grant recipient, reflecting a collaborative effort to expand the project's scope and impact within the community. The requested amount represents 14.55% of the total project cost, highlighting a significant investment in McKinney's infrastructure.

As the meeting progressed, board members expressed their admiration for the leadership behind the project, with one member acknowledging the courage and dedication shown by those involved. The public hearing on this amendment remains open, allowing for community input and discussion before any final decisions are made.

This proposed funding increase not only aims to enhance local facilities but also signifies a commitment to community development and collaboration among various organizations in McKinney. The board's next steps will be crucial in determining the project's future and its potential benefits for the residents of McKinney.
