The McKinney Economic Development Corporation is tracking 70 possible projects that together could bring $1.82 billion in capital investment and 5,612 new jobs, according to a pipeline report in the packet for its board meeting Tuesday morning.
Of those, 38 are listed as active projects, accounting for 4,240 of the potential jobs and $1.77 billion of the investment, the four-page report shows. It does not name the companies or describe the projects, and it labels the totals as potential investment and potential new jobs.
Leads have climbed
A second section looks back at five years of inquiries. The corporation logged 97 leads in 2021 and 380 in 2025, a jump the report describes as close to fourfold. Across 2021 through 2025 it counted 1,002 leads, and a world map in the report marks lead locations on several continents.
The report breaks out where those leads came from. "Other" is the largest category at 250. Among named sources, the Texas governor's office referred 185, while 133 came from people who said they heard about McKinney from a friend. Company representatives accounted for 68, LinkedIn for 52 and Plug and Play for 50. Brokers brought 41, social media posts 17 and digital ads 15.
Also on the agenda
The pipeline report is attached to the board's monthly reports item, alongside an organizational report listing staff travel and events. That report shows the corporation plans to attend the International Economic Development Council's annual conference Oct. 25 to 27 and the McKinney Chamber of Commerce's State of the City event Nov. 5.
