The Celina City Council approved a specific use permit for the gas station at a Jan. 13 meeting.
Why now?
According to a presentation by city staff, the new gas station will help meet high demand as the intersection expands.
Construction to widen Coit Road to four lanes from First Street to Prosper Trail is currently underway, and the Texas Department of Transportation has plans to widen Frontier Parkway to four lanes in 2027.
Both roadways are ultimately planned to grow to six lanes, according to city documents.
More details
Concept plans for the gas station include six gas pumps, two electric vehicle charging stations and a 4,800-square-foot convenience store.
