Incentives attached to the agreement include reimbursements from sales taxes, property taxes, hotel occupancy taxes and other operational grants. Total reimbursement to the developer can range between $13 million-$18 million. The agreement also outlines decreases to the incentives if the final project cost totals less than $324 million. According to a city news release, the McKinney Community Development Corporation and the McKinney Economic Development Corporation will consider additional incentives for the project during future meetings later this summer. “With the airport’s upcoming expansion into commercial service, our extended partnership with The CJ CUP Byron Nelson tournament, and major entertainment attractions like the Venu Sunset Amphitheater and Cannon Beach ... McK- inney is quickly becoming a regional and national destination,” former McKinney Mayor George Fuller said in a statement. “A luxury resort like JW Marriott is not just welcome, it’s needed.”
Under terms of the economic incentive agreement, construction on the project must start by Dec. 31, 2026 and be completed by April 30, 2029. The agreement also requires various milestones to be met, including letters of financing approval being received by the city by December 31, 2025.
