Two members of the public urged Collin County Commissioners Court to delay approvals for a large planned development formerly known as EPIC City and recently renamed The Meadow, citing ongoing investigations and alleged governance and financing concerns.
Barbara Isaacs asked the court to pause any approvals until investigators from the Texas Attorney General’s office conclude inquiries she said involve the State Securities Board and Community Capital Partners, which Isaacs described as the development’s financial arm. "It is highly recommended that no decisions be made regarding any development approvals until after all investigations are completed," she said, and she referenced materials from prior trials and public resources she recommended officials review.
Lee Moore echoed those concerns and told the court the development had changed names and board membership, which Moore said appeared intended to avoid negative publicity. Moore referenced recent state actions, including HB 4711, and argued that the court should delay any approval and undertake additional review of infrastructure, water, fire protection, police services and financing before acting.
Both comments included allegations about ownership structures and financing through nonprofits and municipal utility districts (MUDs); neither speaker presented documentary evidence to the court during the meeting, and commissioners did not take formal action on the development during the session. The claims referenced by the speakers—investigations, alleged securities violations and assertions about religious or governance intent—remain allegations on the public record from the meeting and were not validated or disputed by county staff at the hearing.
The court took no vote or direction on the development at the meeting; speakers urged further study and a pause pending results of outside investigations.
