Good morning, McKinney.

The McKinney CDC approved $35M in funding for the planned Marriott Resort—providing a $10.25M loan and a $25M grant—that make up 10.8% of the $325M project cost.

The City of McKinney unveiled the Ever Blooming sculpture today at the downtown roundabout on East Louisiana and Church Streets in the Cultural District—commissioned by McKinney Main Street and the McKinney Arts Commission and designed by Dallas-based artist Alli Koch.

The more than 25-foot high installation is made of metal, steel, and acrylic and features Texas-native poppy, Indian paintbrush, and primrose that represent perseverance, creativity, and new beginnings.
