McKinney voters approved four out of five bond propositions on the May election ballot, according to unofficial results from Collin County Elections.
The approved bond items total $449.5 million and are expected to fund a number of projects, including:
- Reconstruction of existing streets and construction of new streets
- Parks and recreation projects, including a new multigenerational recreation facility
- Renovations at McKinney’s Public Works South campus
- Construction of new public safety facilities and renovations at existing facilities, including the McKinney Public Safety building
McKinney Mayor George Fuller said despite the bond failure, a new municipal court facility is still needed.
“Our court has completely outgrown the very dated and inefficient facility,” Fuller said in an email. “Unfortunately, we will need to identify means of paying for it that do not include the benefit of spreading the cost out over the next 20 years with [general obligation] debt.”
City officials are expected to certify the official election results on May 14, according to a news release from the city.
