The event will include a presentation and update on the project, and opportunities for attendees to ask questions of the developers.
What you need to know
The meeting is open to residents and stakeholders looking for a “behind-the-scenes” look at the amphitheater's vision and progress, according to the city’s website.
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. July 16 and the presentation scheduled to start at 6 p.m. will include project details, a progress update and next steps for the venue. The event will also include a Q&A session with Venu representatives, the Colorado-based company behind the project.
The meeting will be held in the council chambers at McKinney City Hall, located at 401 E. Virginia St., McKinney. The public meeting is free to attend. Reserving a ticket to the event is suggested but not required, according to the city’s website.
The event is the second public meeting being held by the project’s developers. Another meeting was held at the Sheraton McKinney hotel in April.
