The McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC):

The McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC) is a 4B sales tax corporation whose purpose is to enhance McKinney's aesthetic, cultural and leisure amenities. The MCDC was created in 1996, by the McKinney City Council and residents who recognized the need to set aside money for this important public service. The MCDC is responsible for promoting and funding community facilities and related projects throughout the city. One of the fastest-growing cities in America, McKinney, Texas still holds on to its quaint appeal with a historic downtown, rolling hills, tree-lined neighborhoods, beautiful parks, award-winning schools, a diversified economy and unique developments.
