McKinney’s population expected to more than double from last official Census, 2010 Census forms to be mailed in March
“The last time McKinney’s population was counted in a decennial census, we had a population of 54,000 residents. With a population of more than 126,000 today, it is especially crucial for McKinney citizens to fill out and return the census form,” said McKinney Mayor Brian Loughmiller. “The census count determines consideration for various grant opportunities available to urban areas based on population. Federal grants that are important for infrastructure, energy efficiency and other programs are available at different levels for cities that are less than 100,000 as opposed to cities of McKinney’s size. An accurate census count will ensure that McKinney is considered in the proper category when applying for federal funds for necessary projects.” photo of historic downtown McKinney at dusk by Allen Rich
