Recreation center to up membership rates Members of the Apex Centre in McKinney will see rate increases beginning June 1. McKinney City Council members unanimously approved increases to membership rates for both residents and nonresidents as part of the consent agenda at a March 19 meeting. The background The Apex Centre is a city-owned, 80,000-square-foot recreation center that opened in 2017 and features fitness equipment, pools and more. The membership rates at the facility haven’t increased since 2019, but the city’s expenditures for the facility have. “We’re not able to generate enough revenue to cover the fast increasing expenditures that are coming at us,” Apex Centre Manager Erica Lyght said at a March 5 meeting.

Airport to see $2.3M taxilane connector A nearly $2.3 million project for the con- struction of a taxilane connector is planned for McKinney National Airport. McKinney City Council members unani- mously approved a construction contract for the project at a March 19 meeting. The details The contract approved for the Taxi- lane A4 project was awarded to Nu-Way Construction. The new taxilane will be located on the west side of the airport and will connect Taxiway A to a planned hangar develop- ment, McKinney National Airport Director Ken Carley said at the meeting. Funding for the taxilane connector project comes from the Tax Increment Reinvest- ment Zone No. 2 fund, Carley said.
