Developers are proposing to expand an existing one-story office building at 225 E. Virginia St. in downtown McKinney.

The overview: McKinney’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan for the project during a March 24 meeting. The applicant is proposing to add an additional 13,181 square feet of office space to the existing building, according to a proposed site plan. The addition will be one story ranging between 18-20 feet in height.

More details: John Tedesco, a civil engineer with Kimley-Horn, said company officials were planning to relocate its McKinney office to the proposed building. Kimley-Horn’s McKinney office is currently located at 260 Davis St.

Plans for the project include demolition of the lot’s parking lot on the west side and utilizing that space to add onto the existing building, according to a letter of intent. The existing building on-site currently measures 16,095 square feet and is one story tall, according to the site plan.

Mustang Momo & Grill, a Nepali and Indian cuisine eatery, recently opened, a business representative said.

What they serve: The restaurant menu features a variety of non-vegetarian and vegetarian options. Mustang chicken is seasoned with Himalayan spices and coated in a smoky, tangy sauce, the website states.

Collin College students can expect their tuition prices to remain the same after college leaders approved next year's tuition rates.

Quote of note: “I am proud to work with a Board that prioritizes keeping college costs manageable," District President Neil Matkin said. "College degrees open many doors for our students, but they must be able to afford to complete their education. By maintaining low tuition rates, we are helping them achieve their goals.”

A closer look: The college's tuition rates will remain:

• $67 per credit hour for in-district residents
• $127 per credit hour for out-of-district residents
• $202 per credit hour for out-of-state or out-of-country residents

For nearly 30 years, Speedway Children’s Charities has had an impact on nonprofits in the region through various sporting events, most notably the annual NASCAR race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.

That is the largest single-event fundraiser for the nonprofit, which provides aid to children in need in Tarrant, Collin, Denton and Dallas counties, said Marissa Chaney, executive director of Speedway Children's Charities' Texas chapter.

Zooming in: Last year, the Speedway Children’s Charities’ Texas chapter, or SCC-Texas, awarded $250,000 in grants to 37 nonprofits throughout the region. Chaney said there were 165 requests submitted, and the board of directors looked through each application. Chaney said the awards range from $5,000-$20,000, depending on the specific project requested, and are for a specific project rather than operational funds.

The details: Texas Motor Speedway will host a trio of races from May 1-3. A live auction, a legacy shop with memorabilia and a 50-50 raffle are all part of the fundraising efforts during race weekend.
