After several months of discussion, plans for new retail and office space proposed at the intersection of Dallas Parkway and Frontier Parkway are still under review.

What happened: Prosper Planning and Zoning commissioners tabled a preliminary site plan for the project at their March 25 meeting, marking the third time the proposal has been delayed.

The gist: Plans for the site have been previously tabled by the commission due to concerns about the project’s vision, walkability and how the space is laid out. The 34.6-acre property is currently planned to include a mix of restaurants and retail, including a pharmacy with a drive-thru, smaller retail and restaurant buildings and office space, according to meeting documents.

Quote of note: “This is a gateway for us,” Commissioner Josh Carson said. “It feels like we’re not organizing it in a way to really create a space that’s really special. It feels very much like a power retail center.”

1902 is opening soon in Prosper this spring, according to the restaurant’s social media. 

What you need to know: The new concept will include a full commercial kitchen and two floors of seating space. It will include American fares on its menu with steaks, house made pasta and desserts.

At least 257,000 students have applied for Texas’ inaugural education savings account program, according to the state comptroller’s office. Less than half of those applicants are likely to be accepted.

The overview: Applications for Texas Education Freedom Accounts close at 11:59 p.m. March 31. Students enrolling in private schools will receive $10,474 to spend on tuition and related expenses, while homeschool students can get up to $2,000 each, and students with disabilities may qualify for up to $30,000 each.

Through March 29, about 23% of applicants had indicated they would be homeschooled while 77% of applicants said they wanted to attend a private school, state data shows.

Program funding is capped at $1 billion for the 2026-27 school year, meaning between 90,000 and 100,000 students will likely be accepted.

By the numbers: About 34,000 students indicated in their application that they have a disability, per the comptroller's office. Students who have a disability and are considered low- or middle-income will receive priority acceptance into the program under state law.
