More than 4,000 works of Asian art are set to join the Crow Museum of Asian Art, located at The University of Texas at Dallas, including pottery, bronzes and sculptures.

The overview: Collector Barry L. MacLean donated a collection spanning 5,000 years of history to the museum, along with $10 million to fund the preservation, maintenance and care of the artifacts, according to a news release from the university.

A closer look: The MacLean Collection is “one of the great Asian art collections put together in the United States,” said Richard Pegg, director and curator of Asian art for the MacLean Collection. About half of the artifacts in the gift to the Crow come from China, per the release, while others hail from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Indonesia. They represent thousands of years of history from the Neolithic period to the present.

Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea is now closed in Richardson.

Participation in a tax increment reinvestment zone, or TIRZ, surrounding the proposed Dallas Stars arena could create more than $185 million in additional revenue for Plano ISD.

PISD trustees approved participating in Tax Reinvestment Zone No. 6, which includes commercial properties but not single-family residential properties near the proposed arena, in August. A TIRZ is an economic development tool that allows a portion of taxes collected in a specified area to be directed into a fund that pays for projects in that same area, according to the state comptroller's website.

The details: Johnny Hill, PISD’s deputy superintendent for business, employee services and technology, told Community Impact in late October that the overall development of the $3 billion mixed-use project could generate $188 million in additional property tax revenue for the district over nearly 20 years.

“We think over the course of 18 years [the impact will] be over $7 billion,” Hill said of the development's total economic impact.
