MEDC spotlights McKinney projects including a $300M amphitheater and Tufts showcase
Summary
Michael Kalski, MEDC president, presented a 30-year partnership snapshot highlighting Tufts redevelopment, the Sunset Amphitheater ($300 million, 28,000 covered seats) and partnerships attracting jobs and tourism to McKinney.
Michael Kalski, president of MEDC, showcased recent and ongoing projects and partnerships that, he said, have helped grow McKinney’s economy over 30 years. He highlighted Tufts as a catalytic redevelopment project and described the Sunset Amphitheater as a major project with roughly $300 million in private investment and 28,000 fully covered seats.
Kalski framed MEDC’s role as creating opportunity and working with MCDC on shared prosperity goals; he cited partnerships with major employers and events (for example the Byron Nelson) as examples of McKinney’s regional draw. The presentation was framed as a record of long-term investments and an argument for continued coordinated efforts among MEDC, MCDC and city entities.
