The recent meeting of the Visit McKinney board highlighted important discussions regarding local governance and community events. During the session, public comments were invited, but no attendees chose to speak on matters not on the agenda.

A significant point raised by a board member concerned pending legislation in Texas, specifically House Bill 10 and Senate Bill 10. These bills are expected to impact city funding, particularly in areas such as public safety. The board member urged attendees to educate themselves about these legislative proposals and to communicate with their representatives, emphasizing the potential consequences for local municipalities.

In addition to legislative concerns, the meeting also promoted community engagement through upcoming events. The Soten Night Market and Block Party was announced, scheduled for this Friday from 6 PM to 10 PM. This family-friendly event will feature live music, including performances of 1980s cover songs, and is free to the public.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of staying informed about local governance issues while also fostering community spirit through events that bring residents together.
