McKinney's Bold Ecosystem Strategy for 400,000 Residents

McKinney, Texas more than doubled its population in a decade — from 100K to 220K — and it's heading toward 400K. Lisa Hermes ‪@mckinneychamber‬  and Sherrod Davis ‪@ecomaptech‬   explain how one of Texas' fastest-growing cities is planning its future, from water and infrastructure to centralizing its startup ecosystem on a single platform. ‪@McKinneyTV‬ 

We break down why 28% of Texans now live in the DFW Metroplex, how chambers of commerce are evolving beyond ribbon cuttings into real-time information hubs, and why EcoMap's technology is giving communities like McKinney the data layer they need to make growth decisions — not just react to them.
