For the Community

We Are Community Driven

McKinneyOnline has been connecting our growing community through various media outlets including print publications and an online news source, McKinneyOnline.com, for more than 25 years. The unique local content is for our community, about our community and by our community. It has been recognized as an effective economic development tool by community partners, businesses and residents alike.
In an effort to provide a fresh and relevant product, the publications and website have undergone several updates. Both editorial and design considerations have been implemented to keep McKinneyOnline.com progressive and effective.

In response to McKinney’s changing demographics, we have refocused our efforts to bring local content and information through McKinneyOnline.com. With over 20,000 unique visitors each month and growing, the website is fast becoming the place to find relevant information about our community. We now have a website that adds an enhanced directory of businesses and still has great community events and info. The goal is to connect our readers with opportunities to shop McKinney and support local businesses.

1. Protect McKinney’s Local Character and Prosperity

McKinney is unique in its character and local business environment. By choosing to support locally owned businesses, you help maintain our local diversity and distinct culture.

2. Community Well-Being

McKinney owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes.

3. Local Decision Making

Local ownership means that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

4. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy

Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have three times the impact on your community as dollars spent at national chains. When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development.
