McKinney council approves $5.4M for Public Safety Building renovations

The McKinney Police Department’s headquarters and gun range will receive renovations and improvements in the coming year.

What happened: McKinney City Council members passed two resolutions related to renovations at the city’s Public Safety Building and the police department’s gun range during a May 19 meeting. The resolutions authorize City Manager Paul Grimes to execute guaranteed maximum prices with Crossland Construction Company for two projects.

  • $5.48 million for Phase 6 renovations to the Public Safety Building
  • $1.12 million for improvements to the police department’s gun range

Facilities Construction Manager Patricia Jackson said Crossland was selected through a request for qualifications process several months ago. Renovations to the Public Safety Building will be focused on the southern part of the first floor, she said.

That space was primarily used by the McKinney Fire Department, which moved to a new facility earlier this year. Final completion is expected March 11, 2027, according to a proposal attached to the agenda.
