The McKinney Community Development Corporation convened on September 25, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including funding applications and infrastructure developments. The meeting commenced with a motion that was promptly seconded and passed, setting a collaborative tone for the discussions ahead.

The first significant item on the agenda was the consideration of a retail development infrastructure grant application submitted by the Cotton Mill. The application requested $27,458.92 for drainage installation and concrete replacement with turf at the outdoor wedding venue located at 610 Elm Street. Joy, a board member, confirmed that the application met all eligibility requirements, and the subcommittee recommended funding the full amount. A motion to approve the funding was made and seconded by David Kelly, resulting in unanimous approval.

Following the funding discussion, board members shared comments, including light-hearted remarks about the upcoming homecoming festivities and the mayor's keg-tapping event. One member expressed satisfaction with the board's decision to support the Adriatic Parking garage, noting the significant parking challenges experienced during recent events.

The meeting then transitioned into an executive session to discuss various economic development projects, including the Tufts Brewery and the Cotton Mill. After reconvening, the board addressed an amendment to the venue holding corporation development agreement, proposing to reduce the required parking spaces from 5,100 to 5,000. This motion was supported by a second and passed, with assurances that the new parking level would still comply with city code requirements.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was seconded and passed, wrapping up the session at 10:35 AM. Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to supporting local development initiatives while addressing community needs effectively.
