McKinney to purchase 110 acres from MISD for city services, future recreation center

McKinney officials intend to purchase 110 acres from McKinney ISD with plans to develop a fifth water take point and a new recreation center.

What happened: McKinney City Council members approved a purchase and sale agreement, and an interlocal agreement for the purchase during a Jan. 20 meeting. McKinney ISD’s board of trustees also approved the land sale during a meeting held the same night.

Assistant City Manager Trevor Minyard said the land will be used to develop a fifth take point for pulling water from the North Texas Municipal Water District.

“That fifth take point has been identified as a need in our water system for some time now,” he said.

The details: Under terms of the agreement approved by city and district officials, the city will pay $7.5 million in cash and grant the district rights to swim lanes at one of the Apex Centre’s pools and a future aquatic facility that will likely be located on the land the city is purchasing, according to officials.
