The City of McKinney is starting a massive $34.5 million aquatic and fitness center on July 20,

2015 that will make the city more marketable to incoming residents to the region.

The 3-story, 80,000-sq ft facility will include a gymnasium, fitness areas, sports courts (with an

elevated track), child care area, classrooms an indoor 25-meter competition pool, indoor leisure

pool and outdoor leisure pool. In all, the surface water of the pools will total 10,000 sq ft.

The new aquatic center gets started after years of planning by city officials. The development is be-

ing paid for with funds pooled together by McKinney Community Development Corp. (MCDC) and

the City of McKinney. Officials expect construction to be complete by the end of December 2016.

Cities throughout North Texas are looking for ways to make themselves more marketable to poten-

tial residents as the region continues to add jobs with big employers (such as Toyota North Ameri-

ca, Liberty Mutual Insurance and State Farm Insurance) bring more employment opportunities to

DFW.
