would take the freeway from Coit Road and existing U.S. 380 around the northern portion of McKinney, connecting back to existing U.S. 380 near FM 1827, east of McKinney.

The couple spent the past 14 years turning their retirement property and home into a “farmland jewel.” But they waited until last year to build their dream home on the land, following the announcement of TxDOT’s recommended alignment for U.S. 380.
“In essence, it is going to destroy the farm,” David Thompson said. The couple has no plans to move. They would not be able to afford “anything similar, even on a small scale” in Collin County.Some businesses will be affected no matter if segment C or D is chosen.
