Goals and 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.

Public Engagement Principles

Whether we’re letting our residents know about plans to create a new park, looking for feedback on a transportation project or new facility, or seeking input on a policy update, we are committed to meaningful engagement with our residents. These principles are the foundation for the city’s engagement initiatives and strategies and are the most effective way to build trust and demonstrate our commitment to the community.
