The city’s Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 1 is expanding its boundaries to include a future multifamily development in east McKinney.

What happened: McKinney City Council members voted 6-1 to approve adding 15.7 acres to the TIRZ No. 1 boundaries during a June 16 meeting.

This is the first applicant-initiated request to expand the TIRZ No. 1 boundaries since the zone was created in 2010, according to a city document. Cotton Mill Partners and Presidium Cotton Mill, both land owners of the 15.7 acres, submitted a petition to be annexed into the TIRZ.

The background: The property being added is slated for development of the Presidium Cotton Mill, a multifamily mixed-use project that could provide more than 1,100 multifamily units, office space and retail. 

Multifamily buildings and an office building will be developed on the land that is being added into the TIRZ No. 1 boundaries, according to a site plan.

Heyday Press opened in downtown McKinney in early June, owner Carissa Bleecker said.

The details: The business offers custom wedding invitations, personalized stationery, business cards, holiday cards and limited edition prints, Bleecker said.

Quote of note: “Everything is made by hand, printed one card at a time, one color at a time, on my about 80-year-old, 3,500-pound, cast iron printing press,” Bleecker said.
