A vote on alcohol sales in McKinney will be on the November ballot after the city verified more than 22,700 petition signatures.
McKinney City Secretary Empress Drane certified that a petition turned into her office Jan. 18 had 22,717 valid signatures, according to documents from a March 1 City Council meeting. The petition needed at least 21,847 to call a vote.
The vote will determine whether alcoholic beverages may be legally sold for off-premise consumption in the city of McKinney. If voters favor the law change, stores such as Spec’s and Total Wine could legally come to McKinney.
The petition began in November with representatives from the McKinney Chamber of Commerce spearheading the circulation.
