McKinney Historic Board Picks 12 Homes, Eyes June Deadline, Hears On Greenville Preservation Plan
At the April 2, 2026 Historic Preservation Advisory Board meeting, members focused on board appointments, the 2027 home calendar, and a preservation question tied to a Greenville property. The decisions affect residents in McKinney’s legacy neighborhoods and could shape how the city presents its historic character next year.
Board Seats Open Now
Deputy City Secretary Tanitra Parchman said applications for 2026 board and commission seats are open through Friday, June 19. City Council will begin making appointments Aug. 25, with terms starting Oct. 1. New and returning members must finish open government training by then.
12 Homes Chosen For 2027 Calendar
The board picked 12 homes for the 2027 Preserve McKinney Historic Home Recognition Program calendar. Staff said the list had to stay on the east side in legacy neighborhoods this year. The selected homes range from older houses to newer infill, showing how the area has changed over time.
Greenville Preservation Help Asked For
Board member Megan raised an email from Streetlights Residential asking for help finding someone to study a historic home on its Greenville site. Staff said the company is looking at preservation options and wants expert advice. No recommendation was made at the meeting, but the property was identified as 1321 Greenville, a high-priority home.
