Good morning, McKinney.

Seven candidates for McKinney City Council positions debated Tuesday—offering distinct plans for city growth and the future of the McKinney National Airport—ahead of the May 3 election.

Many candidates backed public safety, infrastructure improvements and economic development but differed on expanding the airport to commercial service.

McKinney Planning and Zoning approved rezoning of more than 700 acres—located between Bloomdale and Wilmeth Roads—for a planned development by the Billingsley Company.
