has said the city has multiple"off-ramps" it can take if it decides it does not want to move forward with the project.
The city has already begun that process and plans to have a draft environmental impact statement ready in June, Shelton said. While that means the document will not be ready for residents to see until after the May bond election takes place, Shelton said the document is mostly completed at this point and the city plans to host a couple of open houses in the coming weeks.
On the bond side, if economic conditions change drastically, it could have an impact on the city's ability to issue debt. Shelton has said several airlines, ranging from legacy carriers to low-cost and ultra-low-cost carriers have expressed interest in serving McKinney. He has declined to disclose which carriers have expressed interest because of non-disclosure agreement.
