MEDC highlights 183‑acre airport‑area site for potential manufacturing and aviation support
Summary
MEDC staff showed a master‑planning exhibit for roughly 183 acres east of McKinney's airport, describing potential for up to 4,000,000 sq ft of manufacturing space and 1,000,000 sq ft of aviation support uses; MEDC framed the parcel as a generational development opportunity.
Michael Kowski told the joint session that MEDC owns the parcel east of McKinney's airport and displayed a master‑planning exhibit that includes a planned commercial terminal and adjacent development opportunities.
"The MEDC owns the area in red, about a 183 acres," Kowski said, and described a build‑out scenario that included "4,000,000 square feet of manufacturing space, 1000000 square feet of aeronautical aviation support space." He framed the project as a generational opportunity given new highway connections and a commercial terminal shown on the exhibit.
Kowski added that MEDC has a nearby landowner partner (Holly Development) and that the combined infrastructure sets McKinney apart regionally. The presentation did not include development agreements, timelines for site disposition, or specific tenants; council members offered general praise but did not adopt policy or a disposition motion during the public presentation.
