Background
In 2019, voters passed a $50 million bond proposition to serve as a major source of funding for a Municipal Community Complex that will house the new McKinney City Hall.
The current City Hall is a converted bank building constructed in the 1950s and a Development Services building from the 1960s. The buildings are not large enough to house a growing city and city staff, the city leases additional space around the city. In all, city administrative and parks employees are in nine buildings and at a cost of $650,000 in annual rent.
The new building would be designed to accommodate the city’s growth for the next generation at a location that would serve as a central gathering space and catalyst for development.

TUPPS Brewery Project
- Construction continues, but several issues have caused the project to be delayed.
- The brewery anticipates to be operating for distribution in October 2023, but project completion is estimated for November 2023.
Background
In July 2020, TUPPS Brewery announced it will relocate and expand its campus to the historic Mill District of downtown McKinney. The campus will include a tasting taproom in the original grain milling building, a state-of-the-art production facility, retail shopping featuring local craftsmen, and an entertainment venue. The City of McKinney, McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC) and the McKinney Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) are contributing to the project.
How will this project benefit the city?
MCDC works in partnership with businesses to promote and fund cultural and economic development projects that maintain and enhance McKinney's quality of life. The TUPPS Brewery relocation and expansion project is an example of great things that come from collaboration and public-private cooperative efforts.
The TUPPS project, which will rehabilitate and revitalize the former McKinney Grain property, will:
- Accomplish MCDC strategic goals of fostering the redevelopment of the Downtown Historic Cultural District and East McKinney and creating destination retail, dining, and entertainment.
- Serve as a catalyst for redevelopment on the east side of the city.
- Create a world-class cultural and entertainment destination for residents and visitors.

Between Eldorado Parkway / Industrial Boulevard and U.S. 380, S.H. 5 will remain 4-lanes due to limited right-of-way. However, the road will be reconstructed with a raised center median and turn lanes at specific intersections. The project also includes wide sidewalks and improved stormwater systems.
