The McKinney City Council voted to call an election where voters will consider one general obligation bond proposition and three Council seats. The general and special election is scheduled for May 6. Early voting takes place April 24–May 2.

A bond committee made a recommendation to the McKinney City Council to call for a $200 million bond package for future development at the McKinney National Airport and capital projects outlined in its master plan. Video of the bond committee presentation.

City Council has made maximizing the development potential of McKinney National Airport one of the six pillars of the City Council Goals and Strategies. City Council approved the airport’s long-term master plan in 2018. The goal of a master plan is to provide the framework needed to guide future airport development that will allow the airport to keep pace with aviation growth and demand cost-effectively while also considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts.
