What they’re saying
The bottom line
Leaders in both Prosper and Celina are being intentional about the projects they’re bringing in through developer agreements. Celina officials often create development agreements to builders that outline future annexation and zoning of the land, as well as other developer obligations, said Dusty McAfee, Celina’s director of development services. This process helps ensure that developments abide by Celina’s long-range plans. Practices like this are setting up Prosper and Celina to become the next big cities in the metroplex, Cawthorn said. “They know the growth is coming and so they’ve worked really hard to prepare for it and it really shows,” Cawthorn said.
These developments are bringing in both needed amenities and infrastructure to Prosper and Celina. In Celina, for example, another 217 homes will be built as part of a development called the Parks at Wilson Creek. In May, city officials approved an agreement to help fund the first phase of the development, which is set to include 49 homes. Single-family residential projects are also fueling growth in the commercial sectors of both Prosper and Celina, officials said. “The increase in single-family homes in Celina will allow us to attract retailers and restaurants of all sizes and will contribute to the city’s future commercial growth,” Celina City Manager Robert Ranc said. David Hoover, Prosper’s director of develop- ment services, said single-family developments are a main driving factor behind commercial growth in the town.
