Plano City Council approved the construction of several roads, and designs for the new tennis center are moving forward. Here's a recap of the meeting:
1. County-wide road project receives support
Council approved a resolution in support of Collin County efforts to begin and expand road construction throughout the county. Some of the roads to be constructed or altered are US 380, Spur 399 and the proposed Collin County Outer Loop, according to the resolution.
2. A Toyota corporation receives special designation
The council also approved the designation of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as an enterprise project—a designation that provides tax breaks to the company. To receive this designation, a company must be located at a "qualified business site" as well as "create a higher level of employment, economic activity and stability,” according to the resolution. The Toyota Motor Credit Corporation will be located in Toyota's recently-opened North American headquarters, 6565 Headquarters Drive.
3. Tennis center moves forward with design updates
Council approved the use of $375,000 of the High Point Tennis Center's $4.6-million renovation budget. The approved dollars will be used to pay for the services of a hired architectural firm for the design of a portion of the 39-year-old facility, which the city-prepared document said will “serve the needs of tennis players, teams, tournaments and the classes.”
