The Adriatica Master Association, the property owner’s association for Adriatica Village, plans to add an amphitheater and enhance other park facilities with help from a grant from the McKinney Community Development Corp.
The amphitheater seating will be located in the “sloped bowl area facing the stage and lake,” according to a presentation given at the McKinney CDC meeting Aug. 25. The project will also include an observation deck to the south of the seating area and a new sidewalk to connect the opposing sides of the amphitheater.
A grant of just over $98,000 was approved by the MCDC to complete the additions, accounting for 100% of the project’s cost. The MCDC is funded by a half-cent sales tax that typically generates millions of dollars annually that are reinvested to enhance the city.
The presentation also noted that vendors to carry out the construction work are on standby and will complete the project within 180 days of the grant approval. This puts the estimated completion at the end of February 2023.
