HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM CANDICE: Hello, Community Impact readers! As the new general manager, I am excited to continue building relationships in this great community. Leanne Libby has certainly left a lasting impression in this market since she launched the rst Plano paper in September 2014, and I am so grateful to continue to have her guidance and mentorship as she takes on her new metro level role. As a parent I love to see useful content, like this month’s Private School Guide, that bundle valuable information in one place (see pages 14-15). This year will be packed with even more valuable content. We’re always open to feedback, so please reach out to me anytime at ctrevino@communityimpact.com. Candice Trevino, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM MICHAEL: This month’s front-page story takes a look at the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program—one way to develop a ordable housing in the city—and why Plano has put it on hold. We also have an update on Plano ISD’s latest e orts to address sta ng shortages from reporter Jake Reynolds (see Page 12). If you have any story ideas you’d like to see in the paper, reach out to us at plnnews@communityimpact.com. Michael Crouchley, EDITOR
