McKinney, Texas -- At a joint meeting, the McKinney Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC) approved the issuance of sales tax revenue bonds to fund the construction of eastside infrastructure at McKinney National Airport. 

"We are delighted with the votes today to approve issuing funding to construct needed infrastructure that will unlock the east side of the airport for all aeronautical use development and a terminal building for McKinney National Airport. The funding is key to advancing the project, along with federal low-interest transportation and infrastructure loans, and federal and state grants," said Mayor George Fuller. "We thank members of the McKinney Economic Development Corporation and McKinney Community Development Corporation for approving this initial funding and appreciate their commitment to progressing this important investment for our region. These funds mark an important step as we continue to work toward offering convenient and affordable airline service and important economic benefits for residents and businesses in McKinney, Collin County, and North Texas." 

This funding will support infrastructure related to the terminal project, including passenger terminal building, aircraft parking and taxiway, and supporting infrastructure.

Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission approved a site plan for the terminal building during its meeting Tuesday, Jan. 14. City Council voted to support the site plan at its Jan. 7 meeting. Construction is slated to start in May, with commercial service targeted to begin in late 2026.
