Wiley said web orders paid the store’s rent for the entire month of April 2020. Two years later, the business is thriving more than ever, the couple said. The initial e-commerce debut allowed Carpe Diem Comics to reach more customers, which led to them moving to a space three times the size of the original store in April 2021.
Not only did the store’s size expand, but so did the sta . For the rst year of business, Childs-Wiley and Wiley worked the store by themselves. In the store’s early days, Wiley unpacked new shipments at the front of the store. Now, he said there are so many customers he has to unpack new inventory out of sight.

Disney said none of the tenants will change as a result of the sale. 214-206-3020. www.disneyig.com www.rickschophouse.com NEWOWNERSHIP FEATURED IMPACT IN THE NEWS Steve Menchaca became the new executive director of Community Food Pantry of McKinney in February after 20 years of serving on the nonpro t’s board of directors. The previous director, Carol Bodwell, stepped down after 47 years of service. Menchaca’s involvement with the organization started 25 years ago when he volunteered to do heavy lifting for the pantry, moving crates and cans in the pantry’s old building, which is now the Family Dollar on SH 5. When the pantry moved across the street to its location at 307 Smith St. in 2002, Menchaca began to lead teams of volunteers. In addition to new leadership, the pantry also operates di erently. Instead of volunteers packing food
for people in need, the pantry has transitioned to a shopping model. Menchaca said the pandemic in uenced the new operation style. Since the pantry has transitioned to the shopping model, Menchaca said clients are taking about half of what volunteers used to give out. One of Menchaca’s goals is increasing the number of people the food pantry serves. 972-547-4404. www.community-foodpantry.org

Regional Transportation Council looks to extendDART rail line
BY ERICK PIRAYESH
per weekday by 2045. The council estimates construction would cost between $700 million and $900 million. O cials indicated it would be mostly paid for by DART, which is funded by a $0.01 sales tax from the 13 cities that make up its service area. McKinney is not currently a DART city, but Morris said the transit authority and the city could still form a partnership for the rail line. “First, we have got to let DART ... get the Silver Line [ nished], but in the meantime let’s see if we can create this vision,” Morris said during the meeting. Plano City Council Member Rick Smith said the uptick in economic develop- ment around the proposed transit stations could be a positive aspect of the project. Some local o cials in McKinney, Morris said, are in support of the rail extension. “[McKinney Mayor George Fuller] is very excited to advance now,” Morris said. “We are moving pretty quickly with regard to any and all opportunities to gain consensus.” Morris said DART already owns most of the necessary land along the proposed rail line corridor, and the transportation council is working on gathering support from cities along the proposed route.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments’ Regional Transporta- tion Council is working to convince city o cials to support a new rail line system that would connect Plano and McKinney. In a transportation study presented to Plano City Council during the Feb. 14 preliminary open meeting, Michael Morris, director of trans- portation for the RTC, outlined the various bene ts, costs, options and challenges associated with the proposed rail line. He said, if built, the line could connect Plano to

by extending DART’s Silver Line that is under construction and set to be complete in 2024. The 26-mile Silver Line will connect Plano to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and will add two new stations to the city with the 12th Street Station and the Shiloh Road Station. The proposed McKinney to Plano line would be 18 miles long, and the transportation council estimates it would have 7,000-8,000 riders

REAL ESTATE Texas homeowners could receive up to $65K for late payments
BY MATT PAYNE
could vary upon circumstance. Tanya Birks, the Department of Housing program director, said while the program is open to homeowners across the state, application priority will be given to “persistent-poverty” counties. A county is considered to be in persistent poverty if a poverty rate of at least 20% has been recorded for at least 30 years. “The way it’s going to work with the application process is it’s kind of like a irst-come, irst-served [basis] as people get online and start applying,” Birks said. “But at the same time, individuals that fall within those different priority categories, those applications will be considered irst.” According to Birks, the inancial assistance will be distributed through partnerships between the state housing department, and local nonpro its and city governments throughout the state. Birks added that the state is also “not going to try to come in and butt heads,” given that organizations on the local level have programs already in place to reach residents facing inancial hardship. “I know that with these grant pro- grams, there’s always so many little nitpicky things, and that’s why there’s always so many questions,” Birks said. “But with this one, just keep in mind that this program is more about long- term community recovery.” The goal of the program is to expend all funds by 2026, according
Homeowners in Texas who have faced inancial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic may soon receive up to $65,000 in aid each from a new source of state-facili- tated assistance. The Texas Department of Hous- ing and Community Affairs has launched a homeowner assistance program to distribute $842.2 million in funds to help pay late fees. Money for the new program comes from the homeowner assistance fund under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. According to the state depart- ment, eligible homeowners can receive up to $40,000 for late mort- gage fees, as well as up to $25,000 for past due property tax, property insurance, homeowner association or condo association fees. State department representatives met with Collin County stakeholders Feb. 18 at the Credit Union of Texas in Allen to discuss the new initiative and described it as a means to pre- vent displacement and foreclosures related to the pandemic. Once applications are processed, money will be sent on behalf of homeowners directly to HOAs, tax assessor-collectors, insurance com- panies and loan servicers, according to Michelle Straley, senior inancial analyst with the state department. While the state department is aiming to have checks cut at least 15 to 20 days after an application is sent, Straley said that timeframe

COLLIN COUNTY U.S. Rep. Van Taylor announced March 2 in an email to supporters that he would drop out of his bid for re-election to the District 3 seat. Taylor, who represents a portion of Collin County including McKinney, cited an extramarital a air as the reason he was exiting the race. “Today I am announcing I will not continue my campaign to seek re-election to Congress,” Taylor stated in the email. “I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world.” Republican primary election results posted early March 2 showed Taylor received 49% of the votes. He was headed to a runo with former Collin County Judge Keith Self, who nished second with 26% of the votes, according to results. “I have talked with Keith Self
for this district,” Taylor stated in the email. According to the Texas Sec- retary of State’s O ce and state election code, Self will become the party’s nominee, and the runo election has been canceled since Taylor withdrew from the runo election. Self will be the Republican nominee for the U.S. House race in November and is expected to face Democrat Sandeep Srivastava, who was the top vote-getter in the March 1 Democratic primary. Taylor served in the Texas House of Representatives and in the Texas Senate before being sworn into U.S. Congress. Van Taylor
