Redevelopment & Preservation

As a city, we believe that preserving our existing neighborhoods, their culture and characteristics, are what helps to make McKinney Unique by nature. Part of preserving those neighborhoods means maintaining their infrastructure, maintaining and creating new public facilities, and expanding business opportunities so that they can continue to thrive. In order to make sure that we respect the voices of residents in East McKinney, we've been meeting with community members and asking for feedback. As the process of redevelopment and preservation proceeds, we'll continue to seek community input and develop constructive dialogue through public meetings in the community, this website and online surveys. 

We look forward to working closely with the community to help direct our growth and preserve the unique nature of our neighborhoods.

Goals & Strategies

The overall vision for these projects began with public input during the Town Center Study in 2006-2007, which was part of the 2004 comprehensive plan and incorporated into our current One McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

  • As a city, we believe the existing neighborhoods are vital to a thriving future for the area.
  • Old Settler's Park is a valuable amenity for the area and should be developed to make it more attractive to residents.
  • Public infrastructure in this area is among the oldest in McKinney and needs repair or rehabilitation to support residents and businesses.
  • Any redevelopment or new construction should be balanced with preserving existing neighborhoods in the area, both in terms of use and scale.
