DTX-MCK: Impact 10/10/2025

🪧 McKinney leaders may consider changes to the city’s electioneering ordinance later in October.

In a nutshell: Chris Smith, code compliance manager for the city, updated McKinney City Council members on its current electioneering ordinance during an Oct. 6 work session. Smith’s presentation included comparisons to neighboring cities.

Electioneering refers to posting, distribution or use of political signs, literature or material, according to McKinney’s website. The city regulates electioneering on city-owned or city-controlled property when it is used as a voting location. Previously, the city has hosted voting locations at places like McKinney City Hall and the John and Judy Gay Public Library.

Quote of note: “We have recently received a request for feedback considering two items,” Smith said. “The first being allowing an individual to hold two campaign signs of an appropriate size as well as potentially limiting the number of signs allowed at a polling location per campaign.”

👚 Uptown Cheapskate is set to open in early 2026 in McKinney’s 380 Marketplace, Precision Investments Managing Partner Dan Avnery said in an email.

The gist: According to the company’s website, Uptown Cheapskate sells gently-used clothing and accessories that are in excellent condition. The company focuses on buying current trends and unique finds for men and women, including dresses, jackets, jeans, shoes and more.

What’s happening: 380 Marketplace, formerly known as Sunrise Center, was originally built in 1985. The center was purchased by Precision Investments in mid-December 2024, and is undergoing a renovation and rebranding project.
