Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Planned Industrial Construction Projects Increased by 2% in July 2026 (mhwmag.com) — A major electronics manufacturer is planning a $919 million, 650,000-square-foot manufacturing and office campus in McKinney, with completion targeted for 2030. The project, still seeking approval, would be one of North America's largest new industrial investments and could significantly reshape local jobs, infrastructure, and economic growth over the next several years.
• What to know about City Council recall effort following mosque site approval in McKinney, Texas (miamiherald.com) — McKinney residents are launching a recall drive against four of seven City Council members, including the mayor, after the council unanimously approved a compliant site plan for the McKinney Islamic Association's new campus. Organizers say the effort reflects wider frustrations over spending, transparency, and projects like airport expansion and a new amphitheater. They have 45 days to gather about 5,800 signatures from registered McKinney voters.
• Stepladder finalists determined at 2026 PWBA Tour Championship in Cleveland (bowl.com) — McKinney's own Stefanie Johnson has earned the No. 5 seed for tonight's stepladder finals at the PWBA Tour Championship in Ohio, bowling for a major title and Hall of Fame eligibility. She'll compete on a nationally streamed stage against four top international and U.S. rivals.
