MCKINNEY, Texas — More than a year ago, the McKinney Economic Development Corporation bet that startups and other innovation-focused companies would be vital to continuing to grow the northern Dallas-Fort Worth suburb.
Last January, the EDC launched its Innovation Fund, which has attracted more than a dozen companies to the city. Entering its second year, the EDC sees even more interest from the startup community as it looks to position McKinney as a future tech hub.
