MCKINNEY – The Texas Transportation Commission has approved a $120,000 grant to Collin County Regional Airport in McKinney to update its airport layout plan. The current plan, developed during a master plan study in 2004, includes a new runway that is currently under construction and expected to be complete in 2012. Completion of the runway will mark the conclusion of the current airport layout plan and a $71 million capital program. It will also mark the beginning of a new plan designed to outline and guide airport expansion through the next decade. The Texas Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation will fund $108,000 and the McKinney Airport Development Corp. will fund a matching share of $12,000 or 10 percent of the total grant, which is also the estimated project cost.
