In July 2019, City Council approved a Development Agreement. The agreement outlines both the responsibilities of the Developer and the City of Plano. It is the framework for a public private partnership that makes the City, not just part of the revitalization, but a major component to ensure the revitalization can be accomplished. At the time of its approval, a second agreement (a Funding Agreement) that details the relationship was contemplated and noted in the Development Agreement. 

In December 2020, the City approved the Funding Agreement.  At this time, the City and the developer have found it necessary to amend and restate the Funding Agreement (attached). The purpose of the Funding Agreement is to further define and provide specifics about the responsibilities of the City and the Developer. The Funding Agreement is a balance between guarding the City’s interests and financial stability; the current real estate development marketplace; and the capabilities of the developer.
